Paying Back!!!

"The Alumni are terifically important.Former students are the greatest marketing opportunity that B-Schools has-its own satisfied customers"

This is what happens when business educational fortune for high quality you go to business school. You pay .Anyway you make some sacrifices. Your family is forgotten as you plow through Kotler on marketing, Porter on competitiveness, Dessler on Human resource management, Drucker on everything. You drink a lot of coffee to keep you awake and then you emerge with an MBA!!!

You get a well paid job, which leads to even better job. Material wealth ensues. You start paying the business school back. Just to stay thanks. You become an active member in alumni network, make a few speeches, and sign regular checks. Nothing too onerous. It’s at least what you can do.
Look what they did for you. They took money for their services.

"That’s CAPITALISM. Why turn it into CHARITY???"

HR: A Strategic Asset

Strategic assets are “the set of difficult to trade and imitate, scarce, appropriable, and specialized resources and capabilities that bestow the firm’s competitive advantage”. It is easy to understand why organizations talk about people as an asset, but tend to manage them largely as a cost to be minimized. Aside from accounting principles that encourage this perspective, HR costs are easy to observe, while HR value creation is not. Largely because of the traditional perspective on HR, organizations have no way to measure HR’s strategic performance. Nevertheless, we know that intangibles in the aggregate are an increasingly important source of firm value, and that human capital ought to be a part of that asset value. HR is a strategic asset as it can play a critical role in both strategy implementation and management systems. Namely, the ability to execute strategy well is a source of competitive advantage, and “people” are the lynchpin of effective strategy execution. We think i...
