1. Dear MBA Students ! Fall in love with the EARNING not the PLACEMENT !

    ( Fall in love with the Problem, Not the Solution 

' Learning by Spending' is one learning model less it is talked of.  Rarely talked. Academics dont and they need not talk of this model. Any and every student live it, but rarely focus on.  The model Higher education all across the world implementing this model of  learning.  If one wants to soften it, then it is, Spend here and now, Learn in due !  In reality, this phrase is much worse and hard hitting to any parent and the learners ! Yes, 4 Cr. Indian higher education students spend so much money and spend even before studies commences ! Parents and learners  take loans for spending ! Academics facilitate this process by arranging  cheap loan giving financiers in college campuses.  The point is, L/S model of learning is 100 yrs  is ancient method of learning. Times have changed. Technology changed. World changed beyond imagination. But the learning method remained intact.  Further, it became much more entrenched.   No body dare to say that  the higher edn learning is Learning by Spending. What is the need for the academics to openly say this !  There is no need for them to say ! In reality, the parents, and the students are craving to spend, and spend much  more ! They dont dare to ask why so much is the cost of education ? Have you, as a parent or a college going learner ever asked this ?   In reality, this proposition L/S has taken deep roots and strengthened. As a parent I have not asked for my own daughter -  dental studies. Whatever, they said tution fees, I just paid..  

Now, as a professor I ask you to agree with me that  the Learning model - Learning  by Spending is an outdated model i.e., What is the alternate !

(P. 202 ) The critical part of the learning journey is figuring out Information - Customer Fit (ICF). 

The good news is that if you figure this out, you are on the path to the success, and your likelihood of being successful is way north of 50 Percent, If you dont figure out ICF, your learning is ZERO ! 

This chapter is about figuring out ICF and critical tools to measure it and improve it until you get all the way there. It's also about realizing that this is an iterative process,, a journey and surprisingly another journey of failures.

There are many and many more of your classmates and seniors  who did not figure out ICF. and yet, most of those startups that failed did not realize that was the case; they were suffering from a self belief that they did figure it out.
