The Richest Man Yang Fei

The Harvard Business School, known as the Capitalist West Point Military Academy, or HBS for short, was founded in 1908 and is the most famous institution in the United States for cultivating business management talents. In modern history, many American entrepreneurs and politicians have studied here.

According to statistics, in the top 500 companies in the United States, one-fifth of the managers holding the highest positions graduated from this college.

For more than 100 years, the Harvard MBA has become a symbol of power and money, and a degree coveted by many American youths.

Harvard Business School is the premier institution of higher learning in the United States. It has a special collective spirit that transcends the boundaries of disciplines. It has a unique mission and an extraordinary school spirit. Its influence is beyond words.

The case teaching method is the heirloom of Harvard College. The description of each case is a real problem that industrial and commercial enterprises will encounter. Sometimes the case deliberately does not give due information, and sometimes it deliberately gives more.

At the end of each case, I always ask you: "What do you say?"

The essence of case method is not to force students to memorize the content; it is to force them to use their brains and think hard. Of course not endless thinking. Early the next morning, they had to bring a plan of action to class.

The case method trains the art of decision-making, which is intended to train students to make decisions under unsatisfactory conditions.

An important factor in the success of the case method is the quality of the students.

The business school divides freshmen into 9 classes from A to I, with 90 students in each class. There are fixed classrooms. Classes are organized according to the background, experience, expertise, and interests of the classmates.

Harvard's rhythm is tense, and it is bound to be so. It is not easy to cultivate general manager-like talents in just two years!

The value of Harvard education is to condense the experience that usually takes many years of work and practice into a two-year curriculum to "ripen" students who are not deeply involved in the world.

In two years, students will analyze more than 800 cases.

Those who made and designed these business cases included professors from Harvard University, graduates of the school, and other related researchers.

In order to ensure the diversity and comprehensiveness of these cases, all cases must undergo repeated and serious discussions before they are formally included in the curriculum.

A case usually involves two or three lessons, each with 80 minutes.

At the beginning of each class, the professor first appoints a student to explain the case, analyze the problem and propose the means to solve the problem, or point out the method and way to achieve the company's goals. The time given is generally 10 to 20 minutes.

The case analysis teaching of Harvard Business School is not a teaching to find the correct answer. In fact, there are no absolute correct answers to many questions. What only exists is the correct way to deal with and solve the problem, and the way to solve the problem is right or wrong. , It's just the difference in personal understanding and judgment of business conditions.

Before Yang Fei came, he had learned about the teaching methods of HBS from the side, and also looked for relevant case books to watch and learn.

However, it was so shallow on paper. When Yang Fei really arrived in class, Yang Fei realized that what he saw in the book was not the whole picture, and he could not learn all the knowledge.

Generally speaking, HBS students will receive the case to be discussed a week in advance.

After receiving the case, the students will meet with their "study group".

The so-called "study group" is a group of peers from different faculties and backgrounds who exchange notes, exchange opinions, and propose the best solutions to case problems.

In Yang Fei's study group, there was Linda, who was a new friend I met yesterday at the opening ceremony, the daughter of the US president of P&G Greater China.

If you remember correctly, Yang Fei heard her say that she is a freshman.

But Yang Fei is a freshman in Yanyi.

For such a mysterious grouping, Yang Fei didn't know anything and didn't dare to ask anything.

Because it was just the beginning of school, the first case was brought up on the same day.

The first case is this:

Somewhere in Africa, there is a city built in an underground tunnel, which is the world's largest diamond mining base.

The tunnel is one mile deep from the rocky surface, and more than 20,000 souls are buried in it.

The miners stayed in the mine for 12 hours, on all fours, with their heads on top, and slowly drilled a one-meter-high space with a steam drill. All the things mined by the miners must be pulled vertically upwards for a mile before they can be shipped out. The miners need to carry about 40 pounds of equipment. The mine is hot, humid, and noisy.

70% of the workers employed by mining companies are illiterate. They speak nine different languages, and none of them is an official language.

In this mine, an average of dozens of miners are killed every year. When a mine disaster occurs, there will even be hundreds of miners killed.

At the end of the case is to ask the question: "If you became the head of this mining company, what would you do?"

When HBS teachers study a case, they must contact each company and obtain approval before they can study and publish a case.

Companies usually provide data, reports and memos to assist in research.

Usually, the protagonist or company representative of the case will attend the class in person to discuss the case.

There is no standard answer to this kind of discussion, which is very different from domestic exam-oriented education.

In China, we see a question and we need to do everything possible to solve it and find the correct answer.

The case teaching method is to let students make many decisions in the case, so that decision-making becomes a habit.

After the professor put forward the case, the whole class had a heated discussion.

Those who can come here to go to school are not fuel-efficient lamps. They have the most active brain cells and their eloquence.

The case discussion is based on the principle of "no correct answer" and aims to stimulate students' creativity to the greatest extent.

However, any question must have some wrong answers. At this time, professors can use their professional knowledge to supplement students with relevant benchmark knowledge.

The professor asks questions and makes comments, and the students analyze and make comments, or play a role in the case.

When the debate becomes digressive, lengthy, or offensive, the professor needs to intervene halfway to bring the student discussion back on track.

Yang Fei had never seen such a class before ~www.NovelMTL.com~ At first, he was shocked.

In domestic classrooms, the emphasis is on being quiet when sitting and learning when sitting. Even if you want to speak, you must raise your hand first, ask the teacher for permission and call your name before you can stand up and speak, otherwise, no matter what you say, you will be regarded To be impolite and disrupt the classroom order.

Seeing the classmates sitting in their seats, discussing loudly, expressing opinions, and fighting with the professor, Yang Fei seemed to have discovered the new world.

It turns out that the class can still be like this?

Yang Fei is trying hard to adapt to this rhythm and environment, but he hasn't reacted yet, but he was named by the professor:

"Student Yang Fei, I have read your resume. You are the boss of a company. You should have your own unique insights into business management. Excuse me, what do you want to say about this case?"
