MBA:a pre-req or a differentiator

Posted by Ashish
Thursday, June 15, 2006

let me put forward a question thats on my mind for ages...
Can a business degree help someone to be a successfull entrepreneur or is it something thats one is born with..
can someone really teach you how to create wealth or is it as simple as "either u know it or either u dont"

i would really like to believe that an mba degree would make me good enough to become an enterpreneur myself..but is it true everytime?
Many of the success stories of the industry do not support this argument,where we have examples like Microsoft chairman Bill Gates and lately Mittal steel(world's largest steel producer on volume bases) chairman Laxmi Nivas Mittal are all non MBAs.
Yet a business degree is not much of differentiator as much as it has come to be considered as a pre-requisite to be an entrepreneur.

i unexpectedly posted my commenyt to this post of urs on ur prev post.
another thing to add to my comments?

who do u think is an entrepreneur?
who are managers? arent u already a manager? if yes, how?
what is the basic meaning of "to manage"
look up wikipedia for its definition.
wikipedia is an online management dictionary.

and dude, may be u can already see the difference an MBA makes...see it in me.

to end on a typical managerial note, its ur vision and mission that help u achieve ur aim.

btw, what is common to all the vision statements of the various organizations? u'l find it interesting. its been around for more than half a decade now.
lets see if u can find that out

i hope u njoi blogging. :)
