“no one is interested in business, and the idea of SELLING AN ITEM is entirely beneath those Enlightened Geniuses of Harvard, what disgusting people!!”

hennie, could not agree with you more....growing a business these days is all about buying another company. These idiots in charge have no idea how to build an R&D dept, mktg dept and a sales force. That is way too complicated for most these days. I am in the employment field and see it all the time! SAD!

I heard the author interviewed on the radio, and I found his book at the public library; the reviews at amazon might be of interest to you.

I wish I'd known what was in this book decades ago; I had NO idea that business schools teach nothing about business, but instill a LOT of sheer CONTEMPT for non-Ivy League Americans. His book is a real page turner, shockeroo eyeopener.

Millions of dollars is just silly & passe, anybody who's anybody has billions. Things I'd never have ever thought up on my own about Harvard Business School. I seriously think that it should be closed. I'm serious. And the graduates sent to RE-education camp. Really!!

I'm not certain if the URL I cut & pasted from my google search will work, but the author's name is Philip Broughton, and his book is AHEAD OF THE CURVE.

Ahead of the Curve: Two Years at Harvard Business School
