This isn't something that I'd normally advertise as I don't usually judge people on 'what they've achieved in life' - quite often, the people who are most happy have done as little as they possibly can and really enjoyed life, while still being perfectly savvy.
But, for the record, don't worry, my academic background and business acumen and experience in numerous executive roles for both mid to large corporations stands up. I actually do deal with corporate strategy, employ big consultants (BCG, McKinsey et al) for big projects (so am very used to numerous buzzwords, acronyms and trendy models and 'paradigm shifts'.....these consultants are the sharpest that I know....but they are just consultants at the end of the day....I know how the world works, have rung the bell on wall street...well, was one of a crowd

and have been involved and in some cases led numerous M&A's.....all of which, every last one of them, had shareholder value and share price at the centre of them.
I respect that you have a different view to me but just because you have, I would never question your credibility and get snipey...(ok, i'd take the piss a bit) regardless of whether you were unemployed, on the bins or an MBA lecturer.....I may disagree and debate my points vigorously...but that's different. I also wouldn't assume that my view was a jumped to conclusion and not one that looked at all conceivable possibilities but ruled them out....I'd also never ever rule out the possibility that I'm wrong.....and will always gladly look back and say so.....Perhaps, you shouldn't judge a book by its cover. This is after all a forum for us all to share our opinions isn't it? Just saying
