Tribulaciones de un MBA

¡¡Hola a todos!!

Ha pasado mucho tiempo, pero aquí estoy de nuevo. Y después de 14 meses, por fin con el título de MBA (¡del IE!) debajo del brazo.

¿Por qué digo esto? Pues precisamente porque de MBAs va este post. Me gustaría que mi experiencia sirviera a aquellos que quieran emprender ese camino, y como no, reflejar en alguna parte como me siento poco después de terminar (ya hace un par de meses, pero los efectos aún son muy recientes).

Como primer asunto, hay que preguntarse algo esencial: ¿por qué un MBA? ¿Qué debe buscar un alumno en este acrónimo, si quiere rentabilizar su dinero y su tiempo? La cuestión no es baladí, pues los objetivos, y sobre todo el peso de cada uno ellos, pueden ser muy distintos dependiendo de la persona. He aquí los míos. No todos estuvieron ahí desde el principio, pero en esencia su búsqueda ha guiado mis pasos la mayor parte del tiempo:
  • Conocimiento: criterios, herramientas analíticas de gestión empresarial, "know how"...
  • Experiencias ajenas, de los profesores y compañeros.
  • Contactos ("network" o "know who", que le llaman allí), por la calidad del profesorado y el alumnado.
  • Una medalla en el curriculum, prestigio.
  • Mejora profesional.
  • Trabajo duro, retos y competencia.
  • Casos prácticos.
  • Sentido común "en lata".
  • Amigos (amiguetes y amigotes).
  • Más casos prácticos.
  • Mis propios límites...

En cualquier caso, debe quedar muy claro que lo que un alumno no va a encontrar en una Escuela de Negocios es la “fórmula” del éxito, sino la preparación, herramientas y guías adecuadas para lograr optimizar y sistematizar sus esfuerzos para alcanzarlo. Es decir, llegar a lo más alto, si es que llega, siguiendo el cursus honorum, como hizo Cayo Julio César. Si lo que se pretende es "triunfar" en la acepción vulgar del término, es decir, el camino directo a la cima, como hizo Cneo Pompeyo "Magno", ya decía uno de mis profesores que "éste no es el lugar adecuado".

Pos supuesto, hay otras "cosas" que no se buscan, sino que de forma más o menos prevista, se encuentra sin querer. Aviso, son inevitables, sobre todo en lo que a fauna se refiere:

  • "Cara duras" (denominados "Gregorios", en contraposición a los "gregarios", ambos con nombres bastante indicativos).
  • Delegadores.
  • Impresentables
  • Una cierta cantidad de incompetentes y eternos doctorandos...
  • Jamacucos, propios y ajenos, y más o menos pasajeros (y aquí remito a la RAE).
  • Etc, etc...

En cualquier caso, y bromas aparte, lo que un alumno de un MBA de una prestigiosa Escuela de Negocios (sic.) debe tener absolutamente claro es que lo más valioso que hay en su clase del master son sus 54 compañeros y él, con sus respectivas motivaciones. El prestigio y la calidad del profesorado sólo aseguran que los unos y las otras son los mejores.

Y al fin y al cabo, César derrotó a Pompeyo en Farsalia, ¿no?

Seguiremos hablando...

En primer lugar felicitarde nuevo por obtener de forma tan brillante tu título MBA.
Ya echábamos de manos tus comentarios. Sobre todo la parte irónica. Ya me explicarás quienes eran los impresentables y sobre todo los "incompetentes y eternos doctorandos", ja, ja, ja. Esperamos muchos más artículos tuyos.
Respecto al MBA, estoy de acuerdo en que es una herramienta y no un fin en si mismo, aunque probablemente sea demasiado pronto aún para poder aprovechar todo su potencial.

¡Igualmente, Fede! Sabes que eres de los que de verdad ha hecho que haya merecido la pena....
Efectivamente, el MBA es una herramienta. Y además el principio de un "largo" camino, porque lo que está claro es que todos los que lo hacemos queremos aprovechar ese potencial del que hablas. Si no, "pa qué", como dicen por ahí

Bueno Dani, ya que has abierto el melón (esto es en honor de Cayo Julio Andreu Pinillos), a ver si escribes más a menudo, que intuyo que tus reflexiones darán mucho juego.

Un día te pago (en formato copas) por que concretes cada una de tus “acusaciones”….

Un fuerte abrazo!

Que tal Daniel,

Quería preguntarte qué te ha aportado el MBA (part time)del I.E. como número 1 de tu promoción en cuanto a conocimientos adquiridos, futuro profesional, dificultad al compatibilizar el Máster con la actividad diaria profesional, y cualquier otro aspecto que consideres beneficioso para posible candidato a cursar la próxima edición del MBA part time del I.E. necesitara saber.

Muchas gracias.

Recibe un cordial saludo.

An understanding of the relevance of free casino chips must be put into its proper context: are the offers of the free chips coming from honest online casinos?



3. He analyzed the casino bonuses one by one and maximized his starting position. Almost all of the casinos offer an initial deposit bonus. Some even offer a second and third deposit bonus. On all of these promotions there are limits as to how much they allow as a bonus. In this case study the client played on all three deposit bonuses. First Deposit: 100% up to $150. Needless to say his first casino deposit was $150 (via Neteller) Second Deposit: 50% up to $150. His second deposit was $300 (via Neteller) giving him a bonus of $150. Again, he maximized his bonus allotment. Third Deposit: 75% up to $75. He deposited $100 (via Neteller) for a $75 bonus. In addition to the deposit bounses there was a Neteller deposit bouns. Neteller Deposit Bonus: Neteller bonus is a fixed 10% on all Neteller deposits. His total deposit was $550. So his bonus was $55.

You will discover a large number of online casinos that exists, but be sure to read all the information, including casinos, casino payments, and casino reviews, casino bonus, and casino promotions and be sure to read about the casino you want to play so you can see all the stuff that online casinos have to offer.
Beginner's Route to Online Casinos
The online casinos are a great source of entertainment and fun. That said, there are a number of things you should take into consideration before playing. Choosing the right casino should be your first step in your quest for a great gaming experience online. As such, choosing the right casino will lead you to have a lot of fun and also win at the same time. If you find yourself with a pathetic online casino, you are bound to run into a lot of problems with poor graphics low-wage outs.



2. Regular brick-n-mortar casinos normally ploy subtle methods to divert your attention from the game. They employ pretty hostesses and sweet-talking managers who are forever trying to entice you to buy a drink, or whatever. Now when you drink above the average, you lose focus on the game and make mistakes. This is precisely what the brick-n-mortar casinos want you to do is spend your money buying chips, then spend it on drinks and food, and then lose both your concentration and money! Online casinos cannot play such tricks as you play on these from home and, therefore, there is nothing to distract you or divert your attention from the game.

Finally, realize that all the various bookmakers have their own rules and policies regarding how they settle bets done through arbitrage sports betting when they have such irregular results. As with the advice on pricing, be sure to check the rules of the individual bookmakers before you place your bets.

The best sports betting odds are in actuality just numbers, they may be an ever changing set of numbers but just numbers nonetheless. There are many different factors involved in the computation of not the least of which is the number of bettors placing bets on one team. If a bookie sees this happening he will give the team that is dentified as the loser more points and take points from the team deemed the winning team.

Switching a service located outside of the United States it not hard to do. In fact it is quite easy since there are many quality services to choose from. The most difficult thing that you will need to do is find the one that best suits your needs.

So, having established that using a good Selection System is an absolute must if you want to make money from sports betting, how does the average Bettor actually go about making his/her betting selections? My research shows me that, in the main (ignoring the extremes), there are generally two approaches taken:

- The more conservative group looks at the "Short Odds" calls, and plays safe by selecting only those matches where they themselves feel very confident about the outcome.

- The more adventurous group analyses the matches and odds on offer, and then makes selections based on their own gut feeling about how the matches will turn out, making sure that the odds match their concept of a "value" bet.

Hi people,

What online zines do you read and would recommend?

For all you punkrock folks out there I recommend The Enough Fanzine. It is one of the first emo fanzines on the web.

They have throusands of interviews from the most popular bands all over the world. Check them out online: [url=http://www.enoughfanzine.com]Enough Fanzine[/url]. Best of it all, they are 100% non-profit and just helping the scene!

Looking forward to your recommendations.

Cheers!

Everything about horse betting

Where did that harbinger of doom, the missing 0.5% of handle go? Our best guess is that you'll find that, and much more, going to the enterprising non-pool race and sports books that have cropped up to better serve today's horse racing fans. Most of these on-line books offer full track odds, signup bonuses, cash back on wagers, and give refunds for scratches, instead of forcing the bet to the track favorite. Oh, and did we mention that most don't impose taxes of any sort on winnings.
[url=http://www.pulsebet.com]bet on horse racing[/url]
In the United Kingdom, there are races that involve obstacles (either hurdles or fences) called National Hunt racing and those that are unobstructed races over a given distance (flat racing). The UK has provided many of the sport's greatest ever jockeys, most notably Gordon Richards.


Will Barbaro be the next Triple Crown winner? He has the breeding and the talent, but as of this writing twenty horses have won the first two legs of the Triple Crown only to fail at Belmont. Twenty five more have won two of the three races, but maybe this year...

[url=http://www.pulsebet.com]the derby bet[/url]
Now that Ah Day has passed on the Preakness, eight other horses will be looking to spoil Barbaro's bid for the second leg of the Triple Crown. Two are returning from their Derby bids and six more that skipped the Run for the Roses.
