About MBA education!

- The principal achievements of a business school education are:

"First, to equip students with a vocabulary that enables them to talk authoritatively about subjects they did not understand.

Second, to give students the ability to withstand any amount of disconfirming evidence.

Third, to give students a ticket of admission to a job where they could learn something about management".
------

- All MBA graduates should have a skull and crossbones on their foreheads along with warnings that they are not fit to manage.
--------

- The business community has run one of the most successful sales campaigns of the 20th century - persuading most of us that business people have the answer to everything from biscuitmaking to hospitals to schools.
------

- Modern business methods based on the so called 'management sciences' taught in business schools are not infallible.
-----

- One of the weaknesses of the business culture and its "management sciences" is that it is too certain; it does not allow for questioning of its wisdom and it often ignores the voice of experience.
