Harvard Business School's MBA education has little value, different people have different answers.
October 1, 1908, MBA - unprecedented neonatal birth. On this day, the Harvard Business School officially opened, ushered in the first batch of 49 students. Two years later, in September 1910, they became the first batch of MBA graduates in the history of mankind, exactly 100 years this year.
In the school for more than a month ago, on August 20, 1908, the New York Times with a tofu-size layout reported that Harvard University is about to start a completely different business education message: "New College start will it set a two-year course on the basis of general education as an admission prerequisite. university degree, part of a required course, some elective courses for the training of the Master of Management in Business Studies and epitomized following the special occupational areas, and Banking and Finance, Accounting and Auditing, transportation, commercial law, economic resources and public services. " The report also listed in the list of lecturers, senior government officials, the Treasurer of the large enterprises, well-known lawyer, a famous judge, etc., of which there are management learn originator - the famous Taylor.
On October 2, the second day of school by the Harvard Business School, "The New York Times published an interesting essay. Comments start with Let's talk about the political experience of the German poet Goethe. That year, the 27-year-old Goethe Weimar Duchy of Carl Augustus Earl appointed as a cabinet minister. This proposal was struck by the strong opposition of Earl consultant Fritsch, the people and even threatened to resign to oppose the appointment of Goethe. He really can not see to write "Sorrows of Young Werther" and the relationship between the management of national. Earl reason, do not need such a genius like Goethe, the country's accumulated management experience through dry up from the bottom. Three years to prove that the Earl's correct, Goethe to Weimar Duchy of affairs is well-kept. Spring and Autumn Annals "New York Times" the use of metaphor: Although Harvard is trying to bring up those who do not have the underlying work experience but be able to play to the talents of senior management positions, but ordinary graduates compared to this genius and Goethe?
In addition to the courses of study, review stressed: "The students of the college every summer, will go to the factory and firm internship and those who worked to establish contact with their own life is the most important work will be with them." This 1,000-word reviews a meaningful end: "However," Harper's Weekly recently did a survey showed that 90% of the people are working from the bottom start serving enterprise Explorer. addition, in The new institute was established that day, just returned from a Harvard graduate and the son of U.S. President put on overalls, wool chosen for a carpet company weekly wage of $ 8. U.S. President Theodore Roosevelt, his most beloved son, killed in action in the European theater in 1918, and thus there is no way to use his experience to end should be into the classroom or corroboration of this controversy lasted 100 years - school management The next workshop.
Since the formal establishment of the Harvard Business School in 1910, the total number of U.S. MBA graduates has more than 100 million people. Such illustrious names in the Harvard Business School Alumni Directory: Former U.S. President George Bush, former World Bank President James Wolfensohn, former Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara, Universal CEO Jeff Immelt, General Motors ago president Wagner, Procter & Gamble CEO Lafley, former Secretary of Labor Elaine Chao ... Every year all over the world now have over 200,000 MBA graduated from the School of Business in the Americas, Europe, Asia and other parts of the world.
The most praiseworthy Road session of the 1947 MBA, is known as the best-in-class generation, politicians, senior officials and business leaders from which to grow up much higher than other industry, so far as the Harvard Business School's proud history of the Harvard Business School.
In 1945, the end of World War II, soldiers gradually returned from Europe and Asia battlefield domestic. Placement done a tremendous job and once away from the social and business veterans? U.S. government has made the most intelligent and the most cost-effective decision: let them go back to school, tuition fees by the U.S. government to pay. It is for this reason, the children of the MBA high tuition fees in the usual ordinary people in the door the first time have the opportunity to enter such a past education designed for the rich run. For older veterans, MBA a sound and practical work most closely the course most likely to find work education naturally become the most welcome.
MBA students enrolled in Harvard Business School, 1947, nearly 90% is eager to learn, eager to quickly integrate into the society of the Second World War Veterans. Just as in 1977, those students admitted to the University in China in 1978, their belief is: "to make it up for lost time. It is said that these students into the school daily average sleep time is 3-4 hours. After 20 years, it was found that many well-known U.S. company executives are more than 700 MBA from Harvard Business School, graduating in 1949.
Since then, MBA must recruit graduates with some work experience rather than the graduates of the gate, the gate slowly become the consensus of the Business School. In the end, practice makes perfect or classroom knowledge comes also seems to have the answer: practice and classroom together before the colt.
MBA Education and the United States in full swing, and the Europeans did not agree with the Americans to create this "neither fish nor fowl" education mode. University academic, birth of ideas, and how you can become a vocational training courses for managers? Until the 1950s. MBA Business School, "cottage" in France and Switzerland followed in the 1960s by the Business School in the UK. But it was not until the 1980s, the prestigious universities in Europe which do not operate the MBA education, business schools are independent colleges and business schools in the United States compared to Europe's more like a business school senior vocational training schools.
Truly large-scale European MBA education is not earlier than the Chinese. MBA education sector so far, the United States is still thriving. Even in the context of the great-leap-forward development of China's MBA education MBA students now graduate each year, there are still more than half from the United States.
From the end of World War II to the 1980s, the golden period of development. By the early 1990s, the development of an MBA plunged into an unprecedented and embarrassing position. At least half of the School of Management is closed, appeared frequently on the "MBA" do not need to apply for enrollment in the newspaper ads, even Harvard Business School's MBA graduates can not find a job.
In addition to the economic recession, many experts believe that an important reason for the MBA education itself also contributed to the MBA no longer sought after. A famous professor, done a great deal of data after the study has been to a conclusion: In addition to the first 25 business schools have an obvious increase beyond the ordinary University MBA does not give students bring value to the students later income.
MBA education given to the most severely criticized the famous McGill University School of Management professor Henry Mintzberg. He believes that: "MBA courses trained graduates like mercenaries, apart from a few exceptions, they have no sense of commitment to any industry or enterprise. These MBA programs create a wrong corporate values." He cited the Harvard Business School that ho Case Method is particularly fierce criticism that the case only training people know almost nothing about their own affairs improper to speak. Some even raised again there is no need to engage in the questioning of MBA education. Some companies also weighed in, no longer like the employment of MBA students, undergraduate students and more willing to hire. Procter & Gamble is clearly refusing to recruit MBA students only recruit outstanding undergraduate students to train themselves.
Since the 1980s, the speed of development of MBA education in China, more than any country in any era. To study MBA is seen as a Phoenix Wuji change required courses. Money to high positions, generally choose to go to those schools expensive the EMBA, do not "easy MBA. Young white-collar workers in love with MBA. Even so still have a different sound.
In early 2006, the awards show on the 2005 CCTV Employer of the Year survey activities, the award-winning best representatives of employers Ma answer "Monkey King a rare learning opportunities as a monk, you will not let him go?" This Road The problem, select "No". And loudly announced that work is the best way to learn, they all go back to study MBA later than before, silly, and he has not seen the finish after getting smarter, live outcry.
As general director of activities, sitting at the editing machine I hesitated for a long time whether this passage deleted. CCTV platform, this is very serious discussion in employer surveys employee relations and program management of the Road, Ma is a famous high profile entrepreneurs, such a simple one-sided language to evaluate a international education, motivation and effort of hundreds of thousands of students negation is appropriate? but in the end I still did not under the scissors. As an influential entrepreneurs, he should clearly know what he expressed, will lead to what effect, and as the leader of a successful business, he have a say in things.
I had worked absolute challenge "CCTV Economic Channel, challenge the candidates for the position, and indeed be able to see a lot of the kind described like Ma" more study, the more silly "MBA. Several program, 3 to enter the final of the prestigious university MBA, answered most of the questions will be doing the same choice, and in the elaborate why are they so answer the question when they are strong revealing this information - because the textbooks so teach. (Exam) This well-designed exam expert and director are very depressed.
MBA students who are students or teacher or school, or MBA education? May have. From the 100-year history of the Harvard Business School's MBA education, its value is obvious. Although we can cite Buffett did not pass the Harvard Business School application as well as the world's most famous entrepreneurs hardly an example of MBA graduates to belittle the value of MBA education in today's society. But more and more people are willing to spend money and time to enter the MBA classroom is the same reality.
Two years, is to continue to work or return to the classroom, which greater value? Different people may have different
