When I started b-school at UT in 2001, Enron was just beginning to implode, so they weren't officially evil yet. But the answer to every question seemed to be Cisco, Dell, Microsoft, and EBay. MBA's and b-school professors are retarded lemmings. By the time they pick up on a trend, it's usually over, yet they still follow it. The key is to zig when they zag. Heh, that’s so funny.

For me it was "if only everyone could be more like Southwest Airlines" I was so sick of Harvard business school case studies. So many of their marketing techniques or so pre-viral and contingent on a massive ad budget. Outside of everything I learned in Finance and the value of actually owning a business rather than working for one there were not that many mind blowing takeaways I couldn't have learned from wikipedia and the entry on Porter's theories. B-schools need more classes on emarketing. I enjoyed your post but I couldn't find an rss feed to subscribe : ( Kate, I hear you I just finished an MBA at Wisconsin and am now back in the industry working on a startup.
