So you also consider management a skilled trade?100% correct. Management is all about psychology and learning how to motivate others and keep them on task.
MBA = Master of Business AdministrationWhat does an MBA have to do with management?
dude are you serious...One of the main courses in obtaining an MBA would be operations management.What does an MBA have to do with management?
So, what are you trying to say, brudda?So you also consider management a skilled trade?
Say it ain't so.

It is the charts and graphs and statistics that we consult with the bones, entrails and the phases of the moon, to decide when to hire and fire.
Yeah and like the Generals in "War Pig" Black Sabbath, we just do all that for fun.
Mostly the MBA is Case Study, and what went right, what went wrong. And you have to turn in original work.....a Case Study, quite often.
I was asking schuluyaar, not you two.dude are you serious...One of the main courses in obtaining an MBA would be operations management.
My asserting managers are not skilled tradesman, in no way implies managers have no skill.So, what are you trying to say, brudda?
Just say it. No skill to management, that you know of.
They sprung your trap, did they.I was asking schuluyaar, not you two.
Do ya really think I don't know what MBA stands for Doer? Really? I have a degree in Finance.
lol true enough.They sprung your trap, did they.
Many a linemen protecting that QB.
Guy, ops management is undergrad stuff.dude are you serious...One of the main courses in obtaining an MBA would be operations management.
Yeah ..well let Harvard business school know thatGuy, ops management is undergrad stuff.
No. You are slipping in the sophistry.My asserting managers are not skilled tradesman, in no way implies managers have no skill.
But I do dispute your reasoning that managers are tradesman.
Harvard already knows, because Ops Management isn't part of the MBA curriculum there, its an undergrad class. http://www.hbs.edu/mba/academic-experience/curriculum/Pages/default.aspxYeah ..well let Harvard business school know that
I'll have to put this on pause, I have a meeting to attend.No. You are slipping in the sophsitry.
Go back and look. You will find you are arguing about nothing. Not one said we are always in the trades, so it is a trade.
If I had not trade background in being out there in the tech, on my on, with the customers breathing on me, I would have no cred to be a techical manager.
Do you think there are plumber managers that never plumbed?
So, you really are doing a Marx thing. Management against the Trades. Where do get managers, that the Trade with take the lest bit serous? From the Trade.
So, there you have it. There is no such thing as "manager." in general. For plug and play managers, we need experience in the trade.
Ask yourselves this. Can you imagine someone fresh out of college, with a BA in Business, managing anything, day one?
Oh hell no. I managed a furniture store, after years of sales. I manage tech workers after being a tech worker for years.
And like the furniture store, I got one tech person to manage, at first. Then 2 more and then 5 more. More responsibility. becuse I can actual do this. OK as tech worker, cracker jack as a tech manager.
Now I have small teams all over the world, some people I never see once. I hire them in India, say, then after a few years, they resign.
Tradmens will only be managed by like tradesmen. That is a fact.
If I decide to uproot and work in a big plant nursery, they may desperately need a manager, but I not me. I will start from the bottom like I did in tech, in 1984. $18K /year after 6 weeks of more training in the trade, then I got a company car.
Good. I had ridden my poor Datsun B10, out from under me by then.
You can't kill those cars. The 1200 is a classic design.I had ridden my poor Datsun B10, out from under me by then.
Oh yes, well before you get to Masters you will have absorbed all that for the BA. Then Masters is the practical application.Harvard already knows, because Ops Management isn't part of the MBA curriculum there, its an undergrad class. http://www.hbs.edu/mba/academic-experience/curriculum/Pages/default.aspx

TOM is a different thing than OM.Guy... Its part of the curriculum T O M
Technology and Operations Management
TOM is a different thing than OM.
Ops Management is more about inventory management, supply and demand, manufacturing and services. TOM is the management of software, tech items, IT, OPERATING systems and processes; stuff like that, not concerned with the reorder point of 500 boxes to make a pizza joint run.this course enables students to develop the skills and concepts needed to ensure the ongoing contribution of a firm's operations to its competitive position. It helps them to understand the complex processes underlying the development and manufacture of products as well as the creation and delivery of services. Topics encompass:
- Process analysis
- Cross-functional and cross-firm integration
- Product development
- Information technology
- Technology and operations strategy
