What is an MBA?
MBA is a sieve, a jade carving machine. Some people may think that MBA students have a successful career. In fact, on the contrary, students who apply for MBA, even those who apply for world-renowned MBA (except EMBA students), are mostly young when they enter school and are not very successful in their careers. Some people want to change careers by studying MBA because their original majors are not good. In short, the candidates who apply for MBA are mixed. MBA institutions, when recruiting students, select talents from all walks of life through written tests, interviews and other procedures. Through the scrutiny of MBA courses, rough jade will eventually become a great tool. So MBA is a screen and a jade carving machine. MBA is a code of conduct, and a qualified MBA will firmly say "no" to these questions. The code of conduct in business society may be trivial or even boring, but most successful businessmen consciously abide by it, especially in international business society. MBA is an attitude towards life. If you envy the high income of successful MBA white-collar workers, you might as well ask yourself first, what is the longest working time per week you can accept? Forty hours? Fifty hours? Or 60 hours? At present, the working hours of most units in China are about 35 hours per week. Then compare the working hours of excellent MBA students. The MBA who works for a world-class consulting company in the United States works more than 80 hours a week; Mbas serving top financial institutions work more than 100 hours per week. What is this concept? This is equivalent to working 15 hours every day from Monday to Monday, with no weekends. Is America too far away? Look at the MBA in Hong Kong. A group of MBA students who got together a few years after graduation screamed with envy when they learned that one of them could get off work at 9: 30 every night, and only needed to work overtime on Saturday and rest on Sunday. Relatively speaking, Europeans have a more relaxed attitude towards life. Many Europeans would rather enjoy a leisurely life than work hard for money. Correspondingly, the MBA in Europe is far less popular than that in the United States, and the MBA in Europe as a whole cannot be compared with that in the United States. Therefore, MBA is a life attitude, and it is a life attitude of pursuing money and achievement at a price that ordinary people can't afford. MBA should not treat management as knowledge. When commenting on the strength of an MBA institution in China, we often list how many professors, doctors and doctoral degree awarding points there are. But think about how the titles of these MBA professors are evaluated. Mainly based on papers. Where was this paper published? It is published in some economic and management magazines. What magazines are there? Calculated, I am afraid that entrepreneurs have never heard of it, let alone seen it. These papers are not for entrepreneurs, but for whom? The main thing is to let the professor cycle by himself! On the other hand, even if it is really shown to entrepreneurs, they may not understand it. Because these papers are often really "learned", it is difficult to connect with the daily management of your enterprise!
