MBA turns 100 years!


I have come across an interesting article in the ft.com in the analysis section. It is about MBAs, but is not the typical pro-MBA stuff.. It rather asks whether MBA programmes, which turn 100 years this month (Harvard is the oldest school awarding MBAs), really add up to the whole business community. It gives some pros and cons.

Among the cons it mentions that they can be far from reality sometimes (publishing paper with titles like "Baynesian methods in strategy"... who the hell reads that??) . Then it mentions that MBA "democratize" the board-rooms as MBA do not understand of social classes (this applies more to US than Europe).

Overall I think is a good article worth reading for those interested in the programme. And for me is just a help to wait for the long awaited D-day! (May 21st..)
