“What is business?”
I asked this to my friend who is CFO for one of the successful media companies.
“I don’t know how to reply this,” he replied. Basically, he was saying the practice of business is bullshit around the nonsense; and then the business project will create the trust between two parties. Strip club is the perfect ideal place to get the thing done.
Is it worthy to get MBA now in this day? Yes or no, this has to do with the question of degree whether is worthy. Degree is a letter of credit in business world. At first, the people you do not have any affiliation with. their degrees are the reference to understand that they have mastered the foundation in higher education. This would show, the areas of their qualification and the basic mannerism such as not late for the appointment because they have attended classes on time. Degree also could help us to see the quality of networks; and this has to do with where the degree comes from.
It is not cheap to get higher education degree in the US and UK. Being able to pay expensive ass of tuition fees, is shown how much money the student’s family has. Albeit the students won’t be able to get A, they still have resources that the family has accumulated for them after graduating from colleges.
Higher education degree also gives the unique insight for an individual. This is because the discourse is not accessible for vast majority; not everyone has an exposure to self-actualize the power of wisdom that would change an individual’s reality, the emancipation comes from the phenomenon of imagination. Because of this, I agree with higher education would train an individual to become an avid reader. This will encourage an individual’s brain independently to create his or her imagination, to which is independent thinking. Watching TV is not the equivalent of the reading books. The media contents also cultivate the image for the viewers; and they do not need to have self- imagination. Basically, TV can tell people what to do. In contrast, Books tell the readers what the meaning of sentences; and that the readers need to think independently.
However, staying in higher education too long might have negative consequence.
The higher education is an echo chamber. Even though there are lots of smart people, these are the minority. A successful scholar is a pragmatic scholar, studying the thing that is useful, not sitting on the toilet while thinking about philosophy. Currently, there are lots of PhD students actually come from affluence background. The real world is not decided the will of affluence minority. I feel skeptical about the thesis cultivated from the minority discourse. A successful scholar might investigate on the mass public culture, understanding how people would put their will on their government, in other words we need to understand how people vote.
Being a pragmatic scholar, also needs to see the reality of system, adapting the survival methods. It is amazing to see there are scholars could write amazing papers. However, we are not sure whether these ideas could become reality in the real world. Capitalism is not dead yet. It is important to see how the consumers would consume. The act of consume means the people would agree the product or service that would meet their needs in order to survive. That is, the higher thinking could improve the products or the services, gradually integrating into the market force. This would become the pragmatic innovation. Only concerning the solidarity philosophical thinking, serving for an individual interest; and this is the act of social suicide.
It is ambivalent to decide whether degree is the first good reference. It is yes or no.
