Those are CRT’s folks. Cathode. Ray. Tubes. Old as dirt. Heavy as sin. Glad to be gone.
I spent a good number of my years learning all of the theory about being an engineer and everything that was involved in the computer, electronics, and power generation side of this world. This was entirely interesting and, more often than not, I would have my nose deep in the books. I was almost always thoroughly involved in finding out the “greater secrets” of this planet.
However, once I got my first real job in engineering, I realized that, you know what, Theory doesn’t really mean squat unless you can apply it to “real-world” problems. The same goes for business management. You set yourself up for success when you get a better understanding and a deeper overview of the business management path. That’s exactly what I have today for you here in this article.
1) Understand The Theory
What you’ll go through in the first part of any business management program you’re considering learning about, will almost completely be the theory of what works and what doesn’t work. This will be just like the engineering courses that I took where a lot of the formulas and ideas that are presented to you make sense, but are based on certain assumptions that make them work for the examples that you have to deal with.
This might not necessarily get translated into the “real world,” but it definitely helps you have the ability to explain things later, and it’s a very important part of the process. Knowing how to use the tools without really knowing the reasons behind them is not the best way to do things.
2) You’ll See The Theory Applied In The “Real World”
This is where you actually get to dive into the case studies, or, maybe even get to do your own case study out in the real world. When you get to take what you learned and see how it works in a real example or a mock business, you’ll begin to see what those little assumptions in the theory part of the process actually covered up.
Now I’m not trying to say professors are trying to hide anything. I’m simply saying that a lot of times it’s better, for teaching purposes, to make certain assumptions to make things go smoothly. This is true because you never really can tell what’s going to happen in the real world. Only experience is going to help you learn how to deal with the infinite possibilities that can happen. So application and practice is very important in your journey.
3) This Is All To Ensure Your Future Success
Oh woe is me and my lack of focus, direction, energy, and living body parts.
By having the rationale, the logic, and the reasoning to how this business measurement theory gets applied to the real world, all of your actions that are done in the real world will have the science and the theory to back them up. You’ll be able to mitigate risk by making better decisions instead of just going “willy-nilly” into some ideas.
Nothing says failure like jumping into decisions that might be detrimental to the business that you plan to work with or own. All of this business decision planning will lead to future success with anything that you do.
Business Management or Bust!
As a general overview of the business management process, you’ll begin to understand the theory, see how that theory is applied in the real world, and finally see how these things will help ensure your future success out there.
