To succeed in a business, one needs to know maths. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
Many people claim that a key ingredient to success in the
business
world is a firm understanding of maths. In my opinion, although
there is some truth to this
, it is not a crucial factor.
Proponents of the importance of math argue its usefulness in a variety of trade contexts. For all business
majors, mathematics courses in university are a requirement for graduation. This
is because it is essential not only for those running a small organisation or shop to be able to do good book-keeping but also
as a foundational skill for Wall Street brokers, bankers, entrepreneurs, accountants, and marketers. Without a solid understanding of the mathematical principles underlying the decision-making in those fields,it is difficult to truly innovate and excel.
Nonetheless
, there are more vital elements of business
success. The math a trade needs to prosper can be handled by dedicated specialists. It is more important for a potential business
person to understand the nuances of the market, display leadership qualities, be decisive, and possess generally above-average intelligence. A good example could be an entrepreneur like Steve Jobs. He famously only hired quality specialists and prioritised for himself learning how to be an effective leader and motivate his employees well. The key to success is therefore
segmenting a company into different areas all under the capable hands of a visionary leader.
In conclusion, the mathematical ability can help inform businesses but it is not as essential as other management qualities. The ideal business
person has an understanding of their strengths and weaknesses and brings together a team of strong complements.Submitted by swtjen on
