"Strategically" business like

The business school has a totally different sent of communication rules and it's own lingo.
Firstly they never express things simply and have these total business like words of expression. If you are new to the business culture it will take a lot of effort to understand a business lecture. A business person will always add strategic before a word, and in most cases its never required. Like strategic thinking, strategic positioning, strategic business models and strategic advantages. Its honestly crazy, and all the time you are wondering why on earth is the person in front of you speaking like this. In fact whenever I hear a prof/ consultant speaking I am continuously interpreting all the words in my head. Trying to get down to the essence behind all the embellishment. They have models, frameworks and terms for even the most logical and intuitive things.
I am actually pretty glad not to do a full blown business degree sometimes it can difficult to take. But remove the business terms and all the fluff and it is extremely interesting.
