(Community Matters) The Economist on the value of an MBA
In 2010 the decline of the MBA will cut off the supply of bullshit at source. Pretentious ideas about business will be in retreat.
An overstatement, of course. Nevertheless, my experience teaching MBAs – about 25% were stellar, intellectually curious, gained a great deal from the program and enhanced their ability to contribute to society. Half were just fine, studied hard but mostly wanted to check a box. The last quarter, wish I could have just locked ’em up immediately and saved us all expense and agony
my undergraduate business students – the vast majority were the smartest, most capable and hardest working kids I’d ever met
