The problem with an MBA degree/diploma today is serious and grave. Most B-schools have become a training camp that treats students like a military unit. It is giving them very little time to think and learn. The only output of an MBA program is a degree for the student. Moreover career choices after the completion of the course depends on the luck of a student to make it to a good organization. The students willing to learn are restricted by culture of the institute, a regimental schedule and a loan. I highly doubt this tradition. To top this is the new breed of B-schools treating education like a business. Will such a culture help in making leaders and effective managers ? Have they learned to think differently ?
Facebook has been the dominant social network for quite a while and has an active user base of more than 1.3 billion. Its proliferation in the 18-35 years of age group (52%) makes it ideal for most advertisers. An interesting statistic to observe is the number of people accessing Facebook through Mobile. One of the biggest shifts in social media behavior has been its greater usage through mobile devices (in particular smartphones). According to a report , the internet traffic on mobile accounts for one forth the total internet traffic. Even more important is its growth, which is over 1.5 times per year and according to analysts would stay the same way in the years to come. This shift is even more significant for emerging economies where in a sector such as e-commerce organizations are witnessing close to 65% sales through mobile.
