Can I offer a different point of view?  I think that the situation you were in would have benefitted from any effort to learn the other aspects of the business. Going to b-school to do so was just one path. Alternatively you could have sought out someone in the business and asked them for help on learning the other part of the business. Its not universal but I&#x27;ve never met someone who wouldn&#x27;t help me learn the business better if it helped me to provide a better product.<p>I think the point that Sandberg might have been making was there are some good fundamentals learned in going to business school, however, in tech we move so fast that the education is diluted.<p>I&#x27;d also say that in tech we are pre-disposed to attract a lot of self-educated&#x2F;self-starter types, those folks seem to take a modular approach where if they are deficient in some piece of information they go out and learn it.
