The Love-Hate Matrix


Click on the Picture to View Full Image

Five Months at a B-School.

Had nothing better to do, and electives selection and a lot of other things were on my mind. Hence cooked up a cocktail and drew up a Four-Quadrant matrix, in true MBA style.

The four Quadrants:

  • Bores:Why? : The ones that love me but I dont really see whats the point
  • Stars:Friends: Mutual Love
  • Enigmas:Unrequited Love: The ones that I love but don't reciprocate,wish I knew why
  • Spiders: Mutual Hate : No Problems here

The size of the bubbles represent the "Common perception" of people in general for them across "so called prestigious" Business Schools

More Importantly,its worth pondering if this is extendable to people around you. It really becomes a pain when they cluster up in the Top left and bottom right quadrants, especially the latter. Do people tend to aggregate in one quadrant of the above four? Do Some type of people cluster up in a certain quadrant? Is it usually to your liking? How do you live through it in the best possible manner? Do you try to change things? Where?

Awards:

  • Bombshell : The one everyone's after but I cant see whats the big deal - Finance
  • Most Underrated: Smallest bubble- HR of course
  • My favourite: Law,HR comes close

Will Jazz it up when I feel like it.
