After all the hype over the Business Case Competition, it got me pumped up as well, often wondering if I could perform just as well as others and progress as far as possible should I be allowed to join the competition. Anyway, it got me thinking to the point that, yea, most of the stuff we study in NTU has been largely unused/fei/boliao. Next time, I shall evaluate them seriously before I even start to read them, HA. Here goes:

Accounting 1 - So far quite useless. Mayb knowing how to read financial statements can allow me to make the quick bucks from the market in the future ba.. Stats - Super-uber fei can? FM - Moderate. Same thing. Learn to earn quick bucks from the market lor. OB - Abit lar..but mostly fei. Cost management - Gooood!! All the costing systems and pros and cons. Use le confirm impress the judges! Econs - Too broad leh. Inapplicable in business cases. Biz law - Fei fei fei! IT - Fei! Disclosure and measurement - Fei again. Not if you aspire to be the accountant. Decision making and control - Great! Value chain analysis is brilliant. And other decision making tools. Superb. My fav subject yet so far this sem. Business Info Systems - Useful, according to Roy. Anyway, Pelly was one of the judges. It was a disgrace to be seeing him there for the very first time, since he is my AC213 tutor. HA. Tax - Fei. Unless I'm going to IRAS.

Sad case that so many things are fei. Look forward to marketing, risk management and strategic management! Makes me feel more motivated to study when you know these things stay useful with you forever. Now that I'm in the topic about generalisation, let's talk about why some titles are so general and flattering when they are not. Can someone tell me the reason why Batista is the World Heavyweight Champion when he is only wrestling in his mini entertainment ring in America. Can someone also explain why San Antonio Spurs is the world basketball champion when teams outside USA are not allowed to compete. Can someone lastly explain why every competition in the USA is categorised as the World Series when the majority of the world are only spectacles? I mean L'pool are European Champions because they conquer the entire Europe. And Brazil are the World Champions because S'pore has tried but failed. But USA thinks they are the world. Sian.
