After a one-week break, Shreyas is back with his 46th edition of Shreyas Recommends. This week - How much does Warren Buffet read? How much does a CEO earn? Why did a consulting firm buy a design firm? The story of the white rhino and why doing things alone may be recommended.
Samsung fast followed (euphemism for inspiration) Apple’s iPhone & made tons of money. But business history tells us that ‘fast following’ strategy can never be sustainable in the long run. History caught up Samsung Electronics & it’s third-quarter operating profit more than halved from a year earlier.
I was sure of doing an MBA in class 9 when students discuss choosing Science or Commerce. I started building my profile accordingly and taking part in extra-curricular activities. Being academically inclined I did well in my board examinations and secured admission to one of the best colleges of India- St. Xavier’s College, Kolkata and did well in the B.B.A curriculum in spite of being from a science background.
For many students in B school it is probably a dream to get placed in a good company that pays well (I am wary of generalizations so for my entrepreneurial friends of B schools please condone my audacity to paint everyone with the same colour), gives you exciting work, keeps the learning curve high and empowers the employees to lead as well as get the satisfaction of completing projects where their decisions made a positive difference(there may be other reasons too but just mentioning a top few). Now this was the picture of my ideal company. As many of my friends would agree that the employer branding at B schools have reached stratospheric level where every other company, Indian or Foreign multi national have their own strategy of attracting the brightest and the best.
