Effect of MBA on sher-o-shaayari :)

Yesterday night I had updated my Gtalk status message with the following two lines:

Zindagi mein sabhi ko mukkamal jahaan nahin milta..
Kissi ko zameen to kissi ko aasmaan nahin milta!

In the morning a friend (who perhaps went overboard with his preparation for the mid term examination of Strategy course scheduled later in the day) saw this and tweaked it to:

'Competition' mein sabhi ko mukkamal 'positioning' nahin milta..
Kissi ko 'low cost' to kissi ko 'differentiation' nahin milta!!

Perhaps the most creative way of putting across Porters thoughts on pursuit of low cost or product differentiation strategy by companies to create a unique positioning wrt competition.

Hail MBA! :)

PS: The great strategic thinker behind these creative lines is my batch mate fondly referred as "Tapy" by every1.
