Why everyone needs analytical skills

At the MBA, I noticed that one of the weakness that must be developed is critical thinking (learning to think). There should be rigorous training in case analysis.

There are those who are exceptional and can wing it but most can only probe at the surface.

We professors should do a better job of training students to have analytical thinking.

Ask why 5 times each time there is  a problem
