The Apprentice

Ok. I may be the last MBA student to have started seeing the Apprentice in its their avatar. I have been following the hit show "The Appretice" in Australia. It is aired every monday on Cnel 9.

Now Apprentice is interesting game for all people involved in organizations especially the MBA types. Donald Trump created a new reality show where he has a unique process of selecting a top candidate to work for him. The candidate needs to go through a gruelling process of interviews and selections to join the show and the work through all the tasks and emerge as the winner at the end of it.

I think there a lot of lessons learned from the show. I did a small Google search and found a plethora of websites devoted to the show. If you want to know more check these out.

i watched The Apprentice all thru last season(Star World) and it was gr8! u shud see some of the inventive ideas these competitors come up with...and the foolish mistakes the make too :-) Also good are the comments Trump makes while firing the ppl which tells us the traits tht managers shud hav.
nice show.but this season its become quite repetitive and i feel the contestants of the earlier show were smarter. so i hav stopped watchin...but for a first timer,its great...keep watchin

Well Apprentice is all about business management skills and the survival factor in the "jungle" of business arena. Personally speaking, it is kindaa fun and with season 3 started in India, excitement is climbing up.

I think it is most ironic thing that a failure in business, and epitome of public money hogger is making a show and MBA's all over the world are taking it seriously.
