I also think that B-Schools set their fees based on the the kinds of salaries that students get after graduation, rather than the cost incurred by the institute for the course, and that might be another reason for the high fees. I also enjoyed reading your thoughts about how the book talks about commodifying literature and putting a value to it. I am not sure about quantifying the value of literature, but the idea is quite interesting.Vishyhttp://vishytheknight.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7989828528012145346.post-19336358510281315252011-07-21T22:23:08.053-07:002011-07-21T22:23:08.053-07:00Quite.

I probably am not quite fair to him, as he did have lots of complex and interesting ideas, but I did love that description reading matter - as everything can be reduced to the quantifiable.Sarah Normanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05145876806604726875noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7989828528012145346.post-77129808790640899662011-07-21T13:42:54.561-07:002011-07-21T13:42:54.561-07:00Heh interesting way to value books.

Beyond the attention they are given what about the impact of the material?? Sounds like an interesting book. I don't have an MBA but I do have a BBA and I suppose the author would have similar views on them :)Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18102250492155489672noreply@blogger.com
