Hi AP

what u ask is question that irks every mind that thinks and questions.
thinking and rethinking is the basic nature of any creatures brain.

When an ant walks it follows the scent left by its predecessor. infact we may find a trail of ants going zig-zag intead of going straight cuz tht's the trail, tht's the instruction left by their ant that made its way to the food. so ants as we knw are workers. if they could see, if they could sense that the path that they follow can be shortened they could have made a difference may be.

on the contrary watch a crab by the seaside walk. it doesn't go straight to its destination. it will follow many ways, many directions to reach its target. reasons: it expects an enemy around and doesn't want its aim to be revealed or its a risk averse creature and perceives risk at certain poits so makes for a detour to avoid them beforehand. but all along it never loses the sight of its goal.
if u realise by now i'm talking about strategy and planning. the next level comes with the way the tiger hunts, the way it lies in ambush awaiting its prey near the water hole. the rest of it duznt require to be explained further.

so ultimately the point that i have to put forth is that yes, managerial abilities are in-born to a certain extent. but the accumen needs to be developed over time, with hardwork and experience. An MBA course will just provide you a direction, the set of tools and skills that u can use to evalute certain situations. it will provide u a theoretical understanding of what is an industry, what factors affect a business. what is management. what are the various common functions of a business entity, what are the characteristics of these functions. it will provide u examples of strategies adopted in reality by organizatoins in the face of competition, internal destability and many more things.

but the practical aspect of management, how u use this knowledge, the tools and skills given to u, will depend on you.
the knowledge of goal made an ant, a crab, a tiger behave differently, though all were looking for food.
similarly, each carpenter will be different though they will have the same tools and skills.

a b-school will also expose u to the various kinda people there in the world. it will sharpen ur personality if u let it do so. u can benefit from any course provided u let it shape u.
the last of all, in todays scenario, an MBA is the best platform to help u alight in the world of management.

then again when u get a job, which is assured if one is in a good b-school, u will start off as a specialist and then once the organization starts to trust u, will it allow u to grow into a generalist, a person who can manage, think, take decisions to tackle a situation confronted based on the info available.

i think i have said enuf to help u take a stand on the question u ask.

do reply to me.

songbird
