MBA

What does MBA teach us ? one yr into the course I wonder does it teach us how to manage business ? Just taking an example GM lost over hundreds of billions of dollars over a period of 1983-2000 ( strategy book guys !!) just how many hot shots from topnotch MBA’s were in that company during that period and did nobody think that they were loosing money by tons ? again there are people like jack Welch who make the company grow into 10 times the value or pepsico present chief who had the balls to cut down the sales from annual over $40 billion to little over $20 billion and then again use the money from the buyout to increase it’s sales .in all the three cases people were from topnotch colls so wat was the diff with combined knowledge of biz more years than could be counted ? I will start with two very general examples which I have seen and l leave the judgement to people : there’s this chap who started going to his shop @ class 5 . by the age of 25 ,he had seen it all . by 40 , he multimillionaire several times over . he never studied except novels , philosophy and biographies .then one day he comes to know one of his staff has killed his wife and he is in jail . now he has a staff strength of close to 1000 and this guy is like on the upper top 10 of entire lot besides if he is not out on jail that will create a bad impression for the staff.

So he uses his means to get him out on bail , fixes up a lawyer and he comes back saying he wants his job back . now this is a situation where u can not have this fellow becoz he has already murdered once before , so wat’s stopping next , secondly it’s bad for an organization especially a biz one and people have long memories . at the same time he has served you for over 10 years. Given worked his ass for u . so wat will u do ? I can tell u wat this person did but first I would like to have opinions . u can b anonymous but do give opinions and yeah this is an incident which did happened . I just happen to b there when the drama was unfolding

Second example is for second blog wen I write .
