first of all, i can only pray Allah tht this discussion abt ACA & MBA do not turn out like fruitless and pathetic discussion of ACA & ACCA tht has crossed 30 pages of rubish by now.
well, ausmanpk2001 has raised a very realistic issue. i wont say tht all CAs r dull or all MBAs r dull. the real difference comes from the schooling u got!!! n i mean it really.
ask any behavioural scientist or go to any psychologist, he will agree with me 100%. if a person comes from a very good schooling (O/A level, for example or ne other good one) he is trained in expressing the views, communicating it, work in teams, and all the stuff tht makes up good communication n ultimately a good professional.
if the schooling is not good, no college or university is going to do miracle. this is why many CAs r excellent bcoz they r brought up the way they r; and many MBAs r dull in communicating bcoz they were not brought up tht way (and vice versa, of course)))
remember tht u learn good communication by practically practicing it n never by just studying n passing exams.i also want to share some related info
i read in a book of communication skills written by Murphy (too much used in MBA syllabus) tht a survey was conducted in USA whereby general managers of some Fortune500 companies were studied to know tht how do these successful ppl spend their time. the results showed tht more thn 90% time they spent in Communicating with others; in the form of writting letters/memos, attending/conducting meetings n negotiations, calling on telefones, n ne way u can think of.
the same book book says in the same chapter tht whn CPAs, who were at top mgmt positions, were enquired they told tht the subject tht helped them the most (even more thn accounting) was good communication skills n tht it was their key to success.
so u see, how imp the communication is!!! it is really all abt the "attitude", simply.
