Make up for the blind spot of management knowledge: Jason, who has been selling for 8 years, finally ascended the throne of regional sales manager, but he found that he knew almost nothing about the knowledge needed by many managers except sales.
Finance, human resources, logistics ... There are countless blind spots in Jason's field of vision, and these blind spots are precisely the resistance that restricts him from climbing again. He is in pain, and even with his best efforts, he can't get out of the predicament. Choosing MBA may be his only way out.
Looking for the way of career development: Lyon's career belongs to the typical Brownian movement, and there is no law at all in changing careers.
From tour guide to public relations, from personnel assistant to sales representative, Leon changed jobs very frequently, but he always struggled at the bottom, and the lack of clear goals was the fundamental reason why he could not break through the career bottleneck.
Following the advice of a friend, Leon chose a well-known business school in China, hoping to guide his future career development through MBA.
Gold-plated MBA is more fashionable: compared with her peers, Vivian has a good family condition and wants to go overseas for gold plating.
She originally studied business administration, and there seems to be no better choice than MBA, especially when the MBA craze has not subsided. There seems to be nothing more fashionable than going abroad to study for an MBA, what's more, she can afford hundreds of thousands of tuition fees, so why not study for an MBA? Indeed, studying for an MBA does not need a high-sounding reason.
According to the incomplete statistics of the Financial Times survey of MBA students, "changing or broadening the field of employment" and "personal career development" are the main reasons why most people choose MBA.
In addition, "salary increase", "establishing a professional exchange network" and "starting a business" are also listed as important reasons.
Of course, some people hope to "become future business leaders" by studying MBA.
Today's MBA≠ Tomorrow's business leaders-A group of MBA students who are studying at the alumni gathering of top business schools in China are impassioned and declare that their career goal is to be future business leaders. They have great pride.
The brothers and sisters who have graduated are silent, because they are working for business leaders and receiving not too meager wages.
"MBA and business leaders are not unrelated in theory, but in fact they are almost irrelevant.
Because business leaders rarely study MBA, and the most likely situation is that MBA works for business leaders.
"Yuan Yue, chairman of Zero Survey Group, rudely poured cold water on MBA students.
In his view, these so-called well-known domestic business schools made a double mistake in teaching ideas-students were misled into the idea of leaders, but in fact they didn't even learn the skills.
Therefore, it is difficult to get a mud rice bowl while dreaming of Lingyun on campus.
"Leaders need social knowledge to understand social rules, and system management knowledge is used by operators of standardized systems.
Yuan Yue pointed out that MBA is different from CEO, just as LLM is different from barristers and justices.
Larry Ellision, CEO of Oracle Bone Inscriptions Company, delivered an unforgettable speech at the graduation ceremony of Yale University in 2000: "Please imagine such a situation: five years from now, 10 years later, or 30 years later, the person standing on your left today will be a loser; The man on the right is also a loser.
And you, the man standing in the middle, what do you think will happen? Like a loser.
A failed experience, a failed high flyers.
To tell the truth, I stand here today, and I don't see the bright future of 1000 graduates.
I don't see a thousand outstanding leaders in a thousand industries, I only see a thousand losers.
Now, I think many of you, maybe most of you, are thinking, "What can you do? Do I have a future? Of course not.
It is too late. You absorb too much and think you know too much.
You are no longer 19 years old.
You have a built-in hat. Oh, I don't mean the academic caps on your heads.
You have reimbursed the class of 2000, so it will not be considered.
I think you should just sneak into that poor job with an annual salary of 200 thousand. The salary table was signed by your classmate who dropped out of school two years ago
In fact, I put my hopes on my classmates who haven't graduated yet.
I want to tell them, get out.
Pack your things, take your thoughts and don't come back.
Drop out of school and start.
I want to tell you that a hat and a set of caps and robes are bound to corrupt you.
"Ellison's words are radical, but everyone with a discerning eye can see that under the traditional solidified teaching mode, the probability that today's MBA will become tomorrow's CEO is really small.
So, who are the people who study MBA and become business leaders with minimal probability? They were not buried by MBA. The Harvard survey mentioned above is depressing, but after all, 3% of "aliens" have the last laugh. So what made them persist among a large group of smart people and finally stand out? Since 200 1, Xie Jinbo, president of BeBeyond.com, has contacted nearly a thousand applicants who are interested in MBA. He believes that everyone has a reason to choose an MBA, but those who can eventually become business leaders are destined to appear only in those who always know what they want to be.
As for the professional development to a certain extent, it is necessary to improve the knowledge structure by studying MBA; In order to seek a turning point, I hope to guide my future career development path through MBA; Even those who choose MBA just because of their dreams will find it difficult to go any further.
People with clear goals have long made it their goal to enter a world-class business school, and made preparations in advance for this, and consistently adhered to the goal in the process of learning.
Zhen, the person in charge of "Worry-Free Future Today", is one of the evidences at the seminar.
After becoming the sales champion of HP, the poor Hong Kong man gave up his annual salary of HK$ 300,000 and a stable job, and spent all his savings on MBA tuition.
He chose INSEAD Business School in France, which is a top European institution that is not inferior to any American business school. Although the academic system is only one year, the tuition is not cheap.
For Zhen, this is undoubtedly a gamble. As the best-selling product, he has a bright future in HP. It is a bit risky to give up such an enviable environment and pursue an unknown result, but Rick, who is bent on his career, insists on making a million-dollar bet.
Whether he switched to management consulting after graduation, with a starting salary of $65,438 +0.5 million, or successfully launched a worry-free listing with a net worth of hundreds of millions, he always knows what he wants, and it is difficult to succeed if the goal is clear. Take Harvard Business School as an example, as early as 65,438+0,949. There have been a large number of leading figures who later dominated the American business community, including Jim Burk, who turned Johnson & Johnson into a household name; Peter mccullough, a Xerox company that pioneered the personal computer revolution; Bill Luen, who brought "value investment" to Wall Street and created an unprecedented successful mutual fund; Marvin traub, who turned Bloomingdale Department Store into a fashion spokesperson. ......
The reason is that most of them are veterans of World War II, who have swept Normandy beaches and South Pacific islands.
They have independent ability. Going to the mall is like going to the battlefield. Winning is their only creed, so it is not surprising that they can stand out in the business world.
War is an occasion of extreme competition, and the ability trained here plays a vital role in winning commercial competition.
It can be said that the baptism of war is a necessary condition for the 49th MBA to become a business leader on a large scale. Later generations often use their examples to illustrate that MBA can be a business leader, which is misleading.
MBA is a game played by smart people, but smart people may not be able to play until the end. The MBA may really be the "grave of genius", but some ambitions will not be buried after all.
What can MBA bring? Teaching management or craft is a bit long. Go and see for yourself, and then you will understand what an MBA is!
