I am attending the Summer Workshop provided by the Haas School of Business of UC Berkeley for our new incoming MBA students. Â The workshop is ongoing, and one of the components, the Quantitative Method camp helped us review the very basic quantitative concepts in a business setting.
An interesting point was that from Day One, the instructor talked about that the importance for us is to understand the fundamentals, and the rationale behind, but not the mathematics tricks, because it is very likely in the future we, supposed to be the future managers, will delegate the work to someone else.
I understand and agree with the instructor, but here in this post I would like to extend my thoughts to a question:
Delegate vs. Get your hands dirty (GYHD), which is better?
It depends, I would say.
