CAN ENTREPRENEURIAL SKILLS BE DEVELOPED

Q-FROM AN MBA STUDENT -Can entrepreneurial skills be developed or perfected through an MBA?

Entrepreneurs did exist and flourished centuries before the MBA courses were established. Entrepreneurship is by and large an inborn quality of a person. A person can be a successful entrepreneurs if he or she is dedicated, focused, hardworking and has an ability to take great risks, think and act with cool mind even in most adverse circumstances. I have observed that generally most of the entrepreneurs are very ambitious and have great desire do something different. They are very innovative and passionate about whatever they do.

It would not mean that those who lack these kind of qualities can not make an entrepreneur. Entrepreneurship is like an art and it may come naturally as a gift of God but there are instances of many people making to the top by their shear determination and hard work. While there are instances of natural Singers or Painters or even Sculptors who start at very early age and become the best in their field by a natural gift with which they are born.

With an MBA or any other degree you can always Hone your entrepreneurial skills to perfection. Any form education helps you enhance your skills in multi dimensions & you are able to take very measured and balanced decisions even at the time of crisis like situations. Education makes you very level headed and develops many facets of your personality.
