Do you think IIMs create great managers? Recently Kerala Chief Minister and his entire team spent a day “learning” from IIM experts. Ask them what they really learned after fooling themselves in the IIM publicity stunt? It needs some courage to tell that the “King is naked”.
Bernard Shaw was right. "People who are able to do something well can do that thing for a living, while people who are not able to do anything that well make a living by teaching".
I startd living by teaching management in 1984 and stopped when I got fed up of that planning, organizing, reporting and budgeting rubbish served to innocent students who admired my ‘in depth knowledge’ of the "science of management".
I can now tell you the real fact as an insider. Those so called IIM "experts" and other academic management experts like me are absolute fakes. We are not even fit to manage a barber shop. If we teachers knew management, then there is no reason to spend our life in classrooms.
