Great Continuous Learning Site on Management
"I like to share my knowledge and in doing so, I learn more. With this perspective, I am drawn closely to 12manage.com and its efforts in sharing and spreading knowledge."
Global / International Key Role of 12manage in Facilitating Management Sciences
"Since I have been a member of this global and unique network of business students and management professionals, I have realised that 12manage plays a key important role as globalized academic network whereby students, professionals and managers can acquire new managerial knowledge and share their experience with others, regardless of their geographical boundaries.
Sometimes, I find myself with a need to make an academic revision before I make any comment to this center on the ground that, this is a network of quality people who argue authoritatively."
12manage Reveals and Helps with the Complexity of Management
"I find the website most intriguing in that the points raised quite often seem simple at first glance, but are then exposed as being significantly more complex in reality by the contributors.
This is natural in humankind as we continually seek for greater insight instead of relying on our natural abilities.
Please keep going to help and guide all those who participate at al levels of intellect."
Learn Management from Many Perspectives
"12manage lets me learn different perspectives and trends in management.
I have found some of the entries and comments on managing useful. They allow me to check my knowledge and add to it.
Reading the different comments also made me realize how difficult it is for all of us to implement what we learn.
We need a new man who takes up today's challenges. The old one no longer works."
12manage Also Helpful for Beginners
"Besides for managers, students, academics, and experts, 12manage is also the greatest sharing and learning network for beginners in business management."
12manage Very Good Research Engine
"12manage is a very good research engine that can give you unconventional understanding of various topics. Once you become a member, you'll always be looking forward to share your very fresh thoughts and experience for all members's consumption. These are real time issues at hand, therefore, it is very valuable to others caught in a trap of the same corporate dynamics."
12manage is Hard to Find in Google
"I stumbled across this site when googling a theorist for my MBA - why could I not find it earlier as it is an ace at getting information in a quick format without having to trail through the libraries.
I also like the conversation topics and hope to start some consultancy work later this year focusing on management coaching for the senior manager who has no-one else to turn to."
12manage is Relevant for Practicing Managers
"It is a forum of practising managers - unlike others which are indulged in theoritical jargon which rarely works in a practical situation."
Contributing to 12manage is Fun
"I enjoy contributing to 12manage and appreciate your efforts in creating this forum for practitioners like myself to share thoughts and ideas. I like to support 12manage through adding comments and giving responses.
Availability of time is probably the main reason why you don't see me contributing more often."
Everybody Manages Each Day!
"It is more than 5 years since I started with 12manage, I gained a lot of knowledge in different aspects of business and management terms and models.
But not not only that, 12manage gave me chances to see that 'management' is important to everybody."
12manage Gives Quick Access to your Interest Area
"What I like so far is the seamless interface to one's specialty... Compared to other business networks. What's crucial is "time"... I like the fact I can get in and out of this portal (12manage) quickly with something I can take away. I am impressed."
A Compendium of Knowledge
"I see 12manage as a compendium of knowledge, a didactic rendezvous packaged in a modest and compelling village square pattern of ideas such that anyone who cares to learn can readily have access to whatever discipline or topic he desires.
The beauty of 12manage is that it provides answers to a whole gamut of business / management issues in a variegated manner with contributions from professionals, experts, scholars - high and low - from virtually all places globally.
While achieving all this, there is also the promotion of mutual respect among members and contributors, without compromising quality of delivery and contributions. The gate-keeping role of the Editor is important in all of this and there is no doubt he deserves commendation."
Dynamic Source of Management Knowledge and Wisdom
"I find 12manage a very different model of propagation of knowledge and wisdom. It is useful, refreshing, different and always giving something new.
A traditional pedagogic education has advantages as well as limitations. It can at best only reflect static body of knowledge (BOK) on subjects with some inputs from faculty based on personal experience.
Here at 12manage you have a subject wise Twitter, with lots of intelligent people willing to share their knowledge and experience, without expecting anything in return, just for the experience of sharing and propagating knowledge. It has inputs from many and is an evolving dynamic BOK from which, hopefully will emerge filtered wisdom for next generations to see and experience. This may help in triggering newer ideas, newer dimensions to issues and ultimately to newer insights to what happens around and why. Personally I am excited about it."
Splendid for Management Consultants
"Splendid is the word to describe 12manage. I have always argued against Francis Bacon's submission that 'Knowledge is power'. Knowledge is power only when profitably and successful applied.
The capacity of one's active information reservoir is directly proportional to the rate of the velocity of one's exploits, and inversely proportional to the volume of one's failures.
12manage is in the business of giving the 21st century consultant the strategic-competitive advantage with knowledge and networking tools for maximum success and global impact."
Incredibly Useful Social Network for Managers
"12manage is simply awesome! It stands out from any other network I belong to: valuable insights, great advice from other professionals, site's ease-of-use and, more importantly, a content refresher, as well as new, highly valuable business management material."
Fantastic Tool for Management Executives
"Thanks for providing such an intriguing web site for management executives! The articles and discussion topics are very interesting and educative."
12manage is Very Helpful for MBA Students
"12manage has helped me to do better in my MBA program because I get all I want from 12manage thanks so much..."

My greater recognition for this work, mammoth in generating a universe of opinions. This site is an institution that lasts indefinitely."
