The rise in global economy has increased the demand for management graduates in India. The need of the hour is to be street smart and be discreet in taking decisions at the career front. The new book Street Smart: Beyond MBA by Suresh Padmanabhan talks about the behaviours, traits, beliefs of the Business Communities of India.
Easy to read and understand, this short handbook of 152 pages is a good read for MBA aspirant. The tried and tested experiences and ideas mentioned in this book are easy to apply in the day to day life for more productivity and work efficiency.
It will also help anyone who is in business or intend to do business in future or someone who is in a job, by shaping their belief systems. As the book rightly points out — there is no substitute to being street smart. Instead learn from the school of life itself. Therefore, an MBA plus street smartness are a dynamic combination for achieving great heights and being a truly global citizen.
