3. UG = PG Course
0 What you have learnt in school and college is analysis. It
teaches you the tools and techniques.
0 To be successful in any field we need 2 ‘A’ skill. Analysis &
Application Part
0 MBA teaches you the Application part.
0 It’s the application part that makes you appreciate the long
and boring analysis that was taught by your teacher

4. Will MBA Work
0 To be honest, MBA is not a magic wand that would solve all
your problems or fulfill your wishes.
0 You may have the best analysis in the room. However, if
your analysis, is not heard and taken seriously, it is of no
value.
0 Too often, talented people with the best answers sit in the
back of the room while hacks run the show. If you enjoy the
view from the back, getting an MBA will not change
anything.
0 A MBA degree only works if you are willing to transform
yourself. Are you?
