Great Sharing Dear Sanjay. 

 

Unfortunately students read  the subject  - Strategic Management (to pass in the examination). Hardly very few apply it practically.  

 

In my opinion; this is the subject which they should read first and then try to understand how they can apply the same to qualify the examination.

 

A great inspirational sharing.

 

Thanks a lot. 

very true sir

Sanjay......Thanks for sharing such an inspiring information...................

One thing i need to add here is that.............The education they take and and the acheivements they  made are the source of motivation for people, however we should also remember the other side of coin too i.e. the devotion, hard work, hurdels, scrifices and committment displayed by all of the above legends are remarkable.....................

Everyone wants to be like them, but only the one who are committed to the other side of the coin.........will be replaced by them...........

Thanks a lot for sharing this remarkable information...............
