Is It Fair to Charge Fees When Invited to Speak at Management School Seminars?

Hi all!

I have a question and would definitely like to know your views with a sense of frankness and practicality.

"How far is it justifiable to take monetary charges when invited for a seminar in a management school?"

Have a great day!

With regards,

Vivarna,

Yes, I think it is well justified to charge for attending programs at management schools.

1. It is a human mentality that if something free is given to them, they will not care for it. But if the same thing is bought by them by paying a huge amount of money, they will care for it. The same goes for attending management programs. If it is free, they will be less interested, but if the fee of the program is paid by them, they will become more eager to learn because they have invested in it. I mean to say they will get "Poora Paisa Wasool."

2. When you are attending a management program in a B-school, the money you are paying will be utilized by the B-school in its further development. Hence, the students studying there will receive better education.

Anybody wants to add something more......... :!: :!: :!:

Vivarna,

I also agree with what dsv has written. Unless you spend, you will not realize the value of it. The moment we see 'cash outflow', we will try and make the best use of it.

Hi,

I agree with your reply 100%. Unless and until there are monetary charges attached to these seminars, people will not realize its worth and the efforts put in by the people who speak or train the individuals who attend it. Only when you have spent your hard-earned money on the same, you will remember the things taught in the seminar.
