Comment on Like Rocket Singh | Be a Killer Salesman by Vamshi

Very good principles when it comes to getting buy-in (not the same as selling). To quote a great thinker, sales are contingent upon the attitude of the salesman, not the buyer.

Comment on How genuine is Pagalguy B School rankings by Vamshi

Classmates rating each other has been formally implemented by Randy Pausch, a Carnegie Mellon professor in his Masters courses based on projects in CMU’s Entertainment Technology Center that designs video games. As opposed to ranking each other, they rate each other on parameters (not like Pagalguy did), based on which Dr. Pausch later assigned ranks to students. Read his book ‘The Last Lecture’ for more information.

Comment on How genuine is Pagalguy B School rankings by satyam

That’s the whole point

How come ‘perceptions’ turn into ‘rankings’?? And exactly which is mentioned in the post – even these perceptions / ideas / opinions are BIASED.

As mentioned before, this is like your teacher ranking you 15 in class based on his perception, when you actually deserved to be rank 5. Even worse here, imagine your class mates ranking you – that’s what happening in pagalguy ranking! Every body is ranking them 1. Rest – who cares!!?

What’s the purpose of having such an activity.

Don’t know about preferences of B Schools; students definitely prefer Pagalguy rankings over any other source – who get carried away by perceptions of people, rather than the actual rankings.

I dont think the above comment has said anything better than its last line..

It isn’t about easy/difficult or expensive/in-budget; its about the vision around an idea that is often not understood well in those presentations.

And sure, money is attached to prototypes; however there are companies that never let money restrict those ideas.

Whether its the incubation center of good B Schools (TISS, for example); companies like apple, netapps, google; always encourage live implementation vs ‘convincing that it will work’.

Making prototype again and again was lot more easier in schools and colleges but in corporate when there is money spent behind every prototype that to else’s money you have to be cautious and accountable. I completely agree that over caution sometimes kill the idea but yes some checks are important because one is not operating in isolation, isn’t it
