Milo Sobel is an internationally respected management educator and consultant based in the metropolitan New York City area. He earned his MBA from the City University of New York and his doctorate from Columbia University.

He is a member of the Academy of Management, the Society of Law & Medicine, and is a former President of the National Society for Performance & Instruction (New York chapter).

Dr. Sobel also knows what it is like to sit on the other side of the desk, in his role (some years ago) as Manager of Training with Citibank. On the academic front, He has served on the faculty of the New York Institute of Finance.

Over more than 20 years, Dr. Sobel has presented his programs to literally thousands of professional and business people. His MBA IN A NUTSHELL® is so impressive that it earned the approval of the Australian Association of Surgeons and the Supply Chain Association of New Zealand.

As an author, his works are regarded as "evergreen" and have been published in six languages worldwide.
As a journalist, he has written featured monthly columns for World Executive's Digest, Chief Executive Asia, and Chief Executive China.

Prior to entering the "mainstream" corporate world, Dr. Sobel led a rather different and colorful career in the entertainment field, as a published composer and musical performer, agent, and even occasionally as a "bit" actor in motion pictures and television programs. He currently lives an idyllic life on a small estate in the hamlet of Weston, Connecticut, U.S.A. where he serves as Justice of the Peace.

From his New England residence, he oversees an electronic publishing operation, involved in the production and manufacturing of audio- and e-books, and the burgeoning electronic "new" media. Dr. Sobel has at his disposal an audio/music recording studio, as well as a video editing suite with impressive special effects capabilities .... in a room just down the hall. He concedes that, in addition to educational and industrial applications, he uses the audio/music recording studio to produce pop and jazz music recordings. And, he won't go into details, but the video editing suite will be busy late in 2004. That's when Dr. Sobel plans to have the low-budget motion picture (that he conceived seven years ago!) "in the can."

So how does he explain having one foot in the world of business and the other in the world of the arts?

"Business for the sake of business.... is painfully boring.
MBAs …. that is, people who define themselves as MBAs …. tend to be dull company.
Business in the pursuit of a greater good.... (for example,
to make a wholesome food product available to a family of modest means ….
to provide health care of high quality, lower cost, and easier access ….
to teach people how to sell whatever it is that they create (whether
they are butchers, bakers, candlestick makers, artists, whatever) ….
These ends are noble. Business …. can be …. and should be …. noble.
Although the arts are governed by the same rules of business as other
fields of endeavor, there is some element about the arts that is so special
and difficult to articulate. I would say that it is written on the stars,
not in some accounting ledgers. It is important to know how to read financial
statements, in order to avoid getting cheated.
But, I'd certainly prefer to gaze upon stars."
