One of the most obvious and most asked questions in MBA is – Is it worth anything what we are reading? Does it have any practical application at all? Or most of the time we are mugging up theories only?
We, as human being, are what our teaching, life experiences, people around us have made us. Our environment and learning in life put a deep impact on our way of thinking and applying the thoughts into practical life. But is it possible to cut that learning into pieces and say that this part of my behavior or learning can be attributed to my learning at the age of 15, this can be attributed to my learning from std 8th and like that? The way you behave or solve a problem in particular situation depends on the learning and experiences applied cumulatively. In the same manner it will be difficult for us to say whether a particular part of our MBA will be useful for us in long run or not. It is never that you take your decision exactly as per some theory taught to you in class but these theories definitely have an impact in shaping processes of mind and molding it to think in an intended direction. MBA is all about building the right attitude – about work environment, about colleagues, about the problems that you face and about the LIFE.
And the most important of all; an MBA degree can take you to the boss' position...read further:
When the body was first made, all the parts wanted to be Boss. The brain said: "I should be Boss because I control the whole body's responses and functions." The feet said, "We should be Boss as we carry the brain about and get him to where he wants to go." The hands said, "We should be the Boss because we do all the work and earn all the money." And so it went on and on with the heart, the lungs and the eyes until finally the asshole spoke up. All the parts laughed at the idea of the asshole being the Boss. So the asshole went on strike, blocked itself up and refused to work. Within a short time the eyes became crossed, the hands clenched, the feet twitched, the heart and lungs began to panic and the brain fevered. Eventually they all decided that the asshole should be the boss, so the motion was passed. All the other parts did all the work while the boss just sat and passed out the shit!
Q: What can we learn from this?
A: You don't need brains to be a Boss - any asshole will do.
well regarding the most coveted career 'MBA' in the young india's mindset,my viewpoints have a different direction of thought.I strongly agree that our entire personality is an integration of our learning and experiences in life.there is also something called genetic code passed by our parents and grandparents from generations which also determine how we compile ur ideas.
ReplyDeletewhat b schools say we learn is attitude towards life,knowledge,basic concepts,exploring ideas etc.....the list goes on.My point is that its not only about masters in a particular field.Management is not only in business,its everywhere.Even an extremist can also be a good manager.Today any profession requires the art of management.In this world of continuous change where everything changes so fast u cant be a master of a particular thing and survive.Its the mba's who have the ambidexterity
to all ideas.To make india the global superpower
its our role to lead forward in all facts of life and change the way we live.
