So, in general, does the cream of the crop go to business school? What is it like at your firm?
Just some guys I happen to know -
1. A below avg student in school, barely got through his commerce undergrad. Set up a business in table salt after undergrad - successfully running it ever since. All rounder - marketing, finance, entrepreneurship, operations. Mind boggling.
2. 2nd topper in my engg undergrad class - one of the last to land a job in campus recruitments. Has twice the brains and half the salary.
3. MBA from AIM (Manila), recently bought a villa in Seville
4. IIM (In India, the are the 'creme de la creme') graduates failing in their businesses. Okay, I don't know these guys - so I quote a reliable source

I did mention this.

Maybe these guys are failing in the 'real' business world, but you have to agree that they are the 'cream of the crop' when it comes to academics (in India). Of course the fact that all good academicians make good businessmen is something that I don't agree with as well. Come to think of it, what do you guys think is the ultimate 'businessman' trait?
