Financial risk: Tutoring still needed!?

Friday, February 12th, 2010

Have we learnt our lessons from the economic crisis? Or do we still need more financial risk tutoring? What can MBA programs do to promote an understanding of financial risk in MBA students who will lead in the future ?

The economic crisis over the last two years has seen plenty of paper, ink and blog space being used to point fingers at almost everyone! Governments, political parties, organizations ( both private and public), individuals, leaders, society, habits, et al have been accused of contributing to the crisis. Economist.com has an interesting take on financial risk. In a special report on financial risk Matthew Valencia talk about various views. Read it in detail.

Much has been written and talked about. Have we learnt our lessons? Or do we still need more financial risk tutoring? I believe we still need more financial risk tutoring. Creative financial accounting, fancy economic models and financial modeling, etc are not the solution. Business schools must make financial risk management an integral part of their MBA programs.

The MBA program is a challenge!

Saturday, February 6th, 2010

The MBA program is a challenge for most of us! Juggling work, studies, family duties, extra curricular activities and other demands on your time is never easy. If you are from a non- business background you can add to that list subjects like accounting, finance, statistics and operations research which require great tutors and sufficient time to master. We hear this often and want to highlight this great quote from Roosevelt.

It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.

- Teddy Roosevelt, April 23rd 1910

Hang on and persevere. This MBA program will be over soon and you will enjoy the benefits of being an MBA graduate! In the meantime, if our MBA tutors including accounting tutors, finance tutors, statistics tutors, economic tutors, operations management tutors, etc can assist you in any way, please do not hesitate to get in touch with us. Private tutoring does make learning a lot easier and faster.

Writing Business Plans

Thursday, December 24th, 2009

Today’s WSJ has an article on a trend in business schools these days. With jobs few, business grads are turning into entrepreneurship.

This is in our opinion, a good trend. Entrepreneurship will teach them a number of things that a regular job will not – and quickly. Business plans, cash-flow management, customer service, value to a customer, competition, recruiting, etc become not just terms or concepts these business school grads are familiar with but real issues to deal with directly! It also helps boost the economy as they generate net jobs and value to investors.

A quick bit of advice. Make sure you have a good business plan – We leave it up to you to decide if you want to write it out or just think it through. Here is a quick article on why it is very important to have a business plan.
