This past week Britain voted to leave the EU. A key theme of the 'Leave' campaign was to wrest control of the nation back and reclaim "lost English pride". In America, Donald Trump has been campaigning since last summer to "Make America Great Again". But what constitutes a nation's greatness or glory? And what is this lost greatness that Trump is seeking to find in America. Perhaps a historical tour through some seminal moments of American history might shed some light on "American greatness".

Despite scepticism from some corners that an MBA may be over-rated, my experience, both pre and post business school, often revealed why the market craves branded managers.

It is fairly appropriate for India and Pakistan to honour and remember their soldiers who fought valiantly and laid down their lives during the campaign.

Indians are as yet not wedded to the idea of shopping online - they are only just warming up to it. A vast majority of the market lies yet to be tapped. Poor customer experience will dissuade customers and make them retreat to their tried and tested options.

Approaching graduation, I often asked myself what were some of the major things I was taking away from the experience. An MBA gives you technical skills and core subject matter knowledge but some lessons stand out.
