ABSTRACT

In contrast to the conservative colleagues, other businessmen have long and successfully use models that make running a business more successful. It is important to keep in mind that Management is economics, since the beginning of the twentieth century, since management tried to rely on scientific grounds, to the 60s. The purpose of the research is to study the positive contribution made by MBA graduates working at Wal-Mart in comparison to people with other similar degrees or no degrees at all. The first suggestion for future research would be that a longitudinal study with matched pairs be conducted with the same basic research design as this project. As long as the employees holding an MBA working at Wal Mart continue to develop principle-centered leader then the MLQ would continue to be the best choice since it the most widely used instrument in the study of transformational leadership.

Executives and entrepreneurs are not born, but are made. While business owners will try to exceed all levels of "learning" which can occur, there are a number of those who cannot manage their own business, and can ruin the entire operation.
