Those who've taken Business Courses: Do you really need to go to Business school to learn how to do Business?

Question

I have never taken a Business Course before, only books.

Would be great to get advice from someone who has taken some business courses if they are really helpful.

Thanks!

Hi legolas, haha I'm a big fan of the apprentice too! ;) that was a great guidance my friend, thanks!

Answer 1

Of course not.

How many things you've ever learnt at school do you still make use of today? Same with business school.

The main benefits of business school (and yes, I did my MBA):

1) you get pretty good at giving presentations, which is especially useful if speaking in public doesn't come naturally to you;

2) it gives you a great chance to network. Not only with fellow students who end up working in businesses all over the world, but also with the business community at large. Whenever you do projects, you'll go out and talk to CFOs and CIOs etc... Plus when consultancy firms etc... have recruitment drives they will come to your school and talk to you. Get as many business cards as possible and get good at remembering names and faces.

3) while an MBA is not going to make you a better business person, there are so many potential employees out there that it's a convenient way for businesses to divide up prospects. So obviously your chances of landing that big lucrative job at that investment bank will be that much better if you have an MBA under your belt. People wouldn't be forking out huge tuition fees to take these courses unless they felt it an investment for big dollars when they graduate.

Good luck!

It is a very tactful question.The truth is there is no clear conclusion.If u watch the season 3of the apprentice u will see that the property and busniess mogul Donald trump tried to the degrees holders gainst the diploma holders. and the result was quite surprising actually.the diploma holders were quite good and one Tana Goerta almost had won it not been for her arrogance
The truth is that books can only take u so far.They may teach u the laws of ecnomics , theories, product life cycles, statstics and preducting data.But that is actually to form your basis in business.so that u ahve a knowledge of what business is what about,This can come in handy especially when u are in meetings , come into contact with businees partners or associates issues like this will be discussed.So that knowledge that you study comes in handy
But really Business is about application .Even if u have all the knwoledge in the world but no common sens e and practicality in solving and dealing with situation, it is pointless. Businesses , empires comgeraltes have rise and fall ebause of this .As the saying goes If u fail to plan u fail to see
I have seen for myself, and seen on televison succesful people who had only a high school diploma or maybe a schol-drop-out who set up ordinary business and later became moguls.How is it then that these peopel who are bot so academically-inclined become so succesful in their businesses even topping those with degrees and doctorate
Practiaclity they tell u and experience this are something you can't buy
Practicality comes with intution the ability to see things when peopel dont .I dont knwo if its is genetic-inheret .Maybe so but i do think evetyone has the commonsense to think logically unless u are not human
Then going back, is taking business course a good deal.Sure it is espcecially when it enriches you in experience and knowledge u can never have
I studied marketing as a module only in my course of chemical enginerring so far but i did learnt a lot
Best however to ask from a Business consultant or u can visit my favourite business mogul Donald Trump website's @
www.trumpuniversity.com or maybe donald trump website.He has his own educatinal consultant firm to help people to be successful through the courses somewhat expensive to the average bread-winner but its worth the experience
Just my personal feelings eric

Binary trading is notoriously risky but if you follow a special method I've learned you can earn good money at almost no risk.
This is the site I use: http://trading-secret.keysolve.net

I definitely recommend subscribing to this site in particular. I was a bit weary of binary trading from all the bad hype they receive but this site is pretty legit. This course explain everything you need to start a very profitable trading activity. Remember never invest 100% of your capital into any one security and never have 100% of your capital invested and a good understanding of the rules

Answer 4

Anyone can "do" business, becoming successful is another story.
Business courses are great if you're not sure how to interact with the client and/or present and promote your product or services.

Answer 5

If you are in business classes in college I feel it is not so much about the classes. College for business is more or less learning how to deal with people.
