Lessons from B-School

Note: This posting has nothing to do with Customer acquisition or eMarketing so make sure u guys read it before it disappears from this blog ;-)

A friend of mine sent me this link. Its a simple article about the lessons that this MBA grad learnt from his B-School experience. If your too lazy to read it here are the some of the lessons he learnt...

1. 'I have spent too much time focused on the United States and, specifically, California. I need to really expand my knowledge and viewpoints.'.. This reminded me of what we heard during our welcoming day speech ... 'We all come from our villages, we need to integrate and reach out to others and learn to respect each other in this Global village.' (Hmm... it was something along those lines)

2. ' The Bank of Japan is not like the Bank of America (BAC). In fact, it's more like the Federal Reserve. They help set monetary policy, print money, etcetera' ... to understand the context of this you need to read the article.

3. '"Things that seem elective now will be mandatory soon. Worrying about poverty, climate change, pollution, disease, and migration all seem elective now. It's overwhelmingly likely that they'll be fundamental to any business in your lifetimes. You can choose to think harder about these things sooner." I know this might sound a bit too far fetched but it could be true for people who are civil servants and I strongly believe issues like these will have a significant impact in our lives regardless of which field we work in.

4. 'No matter who we are or where we are from, We have similar hopes and dreams.' Do I need to explain this ?

Hope you liked the article.
