Corporate Learning Series - 3/ MBA Vs Engineer

MBA vs Engineer
A MBA and an Engineer go on a camping trip, set up their tent,and
fell asleep.
Some hours later, the Engineer wakes his MBA friend. " look up

at the sky and tell me what you see."
The MBA replies, "I see millions of stars."
"What does that tell you?"
The MBA ponders for a minute.
"Astronomically speaking, it tells me that there are

millions of galaxies and potentially billions of planets.
Astrologically, it tells me that Saturn is in Leo.
Time wise, it appears to be approximately a quarter past three.
Theologically, it's evident the Lord is all-powerful and

we are small and insignificant.
Meteorologically, it seems we will have a beautiful day tomorrow.
Economically there are mass scale of stars in the sky .

So "Economy of Scale " would be the ideal strategy in that market.
Strategically such market would be a volume driven market
Financially it would be a low margin market.
From HR point of view we would require huge manpower
What does it tell you?"

The Engineer is silent for a moment, then speaks."Practically"...Someone
has stolen our tent".
