    Masteral - Any Plans?

    in Academics, Schools, Universities

    Here is a case in point on the relevance of MBAs today...........from the blog of Jo Owens, a management consultant...

     

    As the financial crisis finger-pointing continues, eyes are turning to the business schools. What part did they play in the meltdown? And is now the time to re-think their own assumptions? As Simon Caulkin observes, it’s not just the economics-dominated MBA that’s now seen as unsustainable.

     

    Business schools have become sausage machines — they all preach the same orthodoxies. Years later, greed and groupthink has come back to haunt us.

     

    This is the first global crisis to have been created at leading business schools. Several of the meltdown’s major players, from Merrill Lynch’s Stan O’Neill to Hank Paulson to Andy Hornby of HBOS, are Harvard graduates. Dick Fuld, who ran Lehman Brothers, went to Columbia Business School (perhaps that’s why his bank wasn’t bailed out).

     

    The bankers were advised by the brightest brains at McKinsey and other consulting companies, which are more or less outplacement firms for newly minted MBAs. The brilliant insight of these great brains led all the banks to the same failed strategies which is costing the world a few trillion dollars.

     

    Contrast this with some of the richest entrepreneurs in the world — Mittal, Branson, Abramovich, Gates and Buffet are all MBA-free.

     

    If you’re aiming to be an entrepreneur, an MBA cannot teach you any of the important lessons of success: leadership, the art of the hustle, personal bravery, resilience and risk taking. They cannot teach creativity, daring, inspiration and real insight. They can teach none of the things that matter to a successful entrepreneur.

     

    Doubtless business schools are now writing case studies about the crisis in order to show how regulation failed, individual banks made poor choices and how economic conditions failed everyone. They’d do better to write a case study on how to avoid creating a generation of corporate clones who are imprisoned by greed and orthodox thinking.

    Amen to this!

    The Nissan Owners Thread

    why not bring it to the casa? minsan mas mura pa ang parts and labor sa casa kaysa sa rapide (experience ko lang with my frontier) kaya ever since, sa casa ko na dinadala yung frontier

    I agree, nagpa quote ako sa nissan southwoods para sa clutch repair, they gave me PhP 10,800 quotation for the complete replacement. then nag pagawa ako sa rapide, ended up PhP 9500 tapos OEM pa yung clutch. di ako satisfied kasi may back job pa, maingay ang release bearing, damn....

    Video Editing Software

    For non-liner editing, you need a PC with so much RAM. The bigger RAM capacity, the better. Harddisk should be very large also bcoz video consumes much space. It would be best if you have a separated harddisk for video streams. Busy kc sa kaiikot ang HD mo when ur playing or manuevering video kaya pwd duluhin ang data mo pag pnagsama mo important data and video streams. U also need CD/DVD-writer so u can burn them on CDs. Lastly, invest in a licensed Non-Liner Editing software, bawal na kc pirated. U also have support for licensed software.

     

    If you'll be editing videos from quite older videocams, I mean those which are not digital, un analog, you need a video-capture device. Look for something which has a zero (0) droprate. Un drop rate kc un images na nalaglaglag during transfer from videocam or VCR to your PC.

     

    I'm not sure if I have answered all your questions. Anyway, andito lang ako...

     

    Thanks, what happens if I use pirated NLE software? ano magiging problema?
