One common tendency which a person couldn't resist is to compare things. Whether the comparison is between two different objects, persons, places, environments or whatever it may be, comparison just happens! I too am not an exception to it. (Kind of a justification to start this blog, yeah :-) )
They say 'You cannot compare apples to oranges'. But my take is that you still can compare them on certain parameters like the taste, the look, nutritional value, etc. at a time. Why am I saying so? After moving from an industry to institute, there are many things which I compare between these two even though these two big entities drastically differ in many parameters and perspectives.
One of the parameters I wish to compare is the 'work atmosphere'. It's the atmosphere w.r.t. the people so to say (barring the student community which needs a different view point to address. Am planning to write on this parameter too on another day).
I think due to the hierarchical structure (unlike the claimed flat structure in the industries) the kind of atmosphere in the institutes are a little restrictive and rigid to some extent. Boss-subordinate system is pretty much prevailing. People look for inputs and guidance to carry out even small things. Decision making people are not so open to new ideas, suggestions or changes. Lack of 'exposure' to external world is seen pretty conspicuously. This trend is percolating down to students level also. They hardly know about things happening outside the college. (Barring their interesting things like movies, gossips, mobile, etc. may be).
This trend should change and should start from the top-level. It should help the students also then.
