Exploring MBA Books: Sharing Knowledge Ethically in the Digital Age

Hi, I would like to sell my MBA books. I am attaching the work file where you can see all the titles, prices, and author names too. If interested, please get back to me. I have mentioned the MRP on the table of contents, but the price is negotiable. I cannot provide shipping, but if you are willing to come nearby to Banashankari, I can hand it over to you. You can buy the books only if they are in good condition.

Dear Reddy ji,

You have fully utilized those books. You gained a lot - an MBA degree out of those books. The price of the books rewarded you. My suggestion to you is to please circulate those books to your juniors in college at free of cost. Tell the person to whom you circulate to do the same thing. THE GOD will give you in multifold.

I do the same. That's why I have the courage to tell you, Dear. I always believe that whatever you give to others, you get it back in multiples. This forum also I use in the same belief.

If it appeals to you, please take it; otherwise, leave it, forget it, and forgive me.

My best wishes are always with you unconditionally.

Dear Reddy,

I completely agree with Keshav's remarks. If you have any soft copy editions/ebooks, let me know as I am interested.

Hi,

Korgaonkar K A & Mysoresriniva,

Thank you for your suggestion, and it's my pleasure to give these valuable books to people who can make good use of them.

Since I have been out of college since 2011, I haven't been in touch with any juniors. Moreover, the college only provides textbooks for a fee (seems like they want to take advantage of students' money, right?). That's why I mentioned in my post that the MRP/money is not important; it's the reach of the books that matters.

If you know anyone in need of these books, please let me know, and I will happily hand them over free of charge.

@mysore srinivas, I have many e-books, but I don't have the time to list the titles and post them. If you need any book, just give me the subject name, and I will send you books related to that.

Good day! Keep smiling.

I appreciate this discussion. I would have given exactly the same suggestion as Mr. Korgaonkar. Please give away the books among needy students - that is another way of spreading knowledge and serving humanity.

I have gone through the list. Some of the books are classics and real gems; which are compulsory reading in the best of Business Schools including the IIMs. To name a few: Stephen Robbins' O. B., Levin & Rubin's Statistics, Koontz's Management, Kotler's Marketing Management.

Warm regards.

I agree with the sentiments expressed about giving books away. Alternatively, you can donate books to college libraries where many students will benefit. I have done it in the past.

Dear Doondi Reddy,

I live very close to Banashankari in Bangalore. If you could provide me with your email and contact numbers, I would be able to meet you in person and copy the information onto a pen drive. Additionally, I would be delighted to establish a connection with you.

Regards,

Letting others copy the e-books that we bought is unethical and even illegal. So, please decide whether what you do is right.

Dear Sir,

Do you mean to say sharing eBooks is unethical? When we can share a physical book, why not an eBook? I haven't uploaded an eBook to a public site for everyone to download. I am sharing so that they can grow their knowledge too. Please give your valuable feedback.

Thank you for the response and query. When you share a book, you do not produce another copy. However, when you share an eBook, you are making a second copy of it. It's entirely up to you.

Dear Doondi Reddy,

I would like to have the e-books. What a coincidence, both are in Bangalore and stay very close. Please let me know your email so that we can directly interact.

Look forward to hearing from you as soon as possible.

Srinivasan

Thanks for your information; from now on, I will try to avoid it. Thanks again so much for helping me understand what's legal and illegal. Good times ahead :-)
