MBA or not

I've considered a couple of times pursuing a MBA...

however, according to HBR's latest top 100 best-performing CEOs list, 5 out of the top 10 do not have one. The top 3 do not have one.

Just checked further, 10 out of top 15 do not have one.

Hmm...

Customer-driven capitalism

Finally something moving in the right direction, about time we realised this...

excerpt from HBR
Modern capitalism can be broken down into two major eras. The first, managerial capitalism, began in 1932 and was defined by the then radical notion that firms ought to have professional management. The second, shareholder value capitalism, began in 1976. Its governing premise is that the purpose of every corporation should be to maximize shareholders' wealth. If firms pursue this goal, the thinking goes, both shareholders and society will benefit. This is a tragically flawed premise, and it is time we abandoned it and made the shift to a third era: customer-driven capitalism.

Wow... been sometime

Thought I'd just pay this site a visit again, and wow... had no idea that I've actually written a fair bit... must be strangely fun for people who keep diaries and to visit them at a much later date...

still considering if I should pen my thoughts in a blog...

or what should I really write about
