MBAs: Degrees of Competence?

Abstract

Examines why MBA graduates are often accused of being over‐paid theorists whose knowledge of business is confined to the classroom and sterile case studies. Highlights deficiencies with certain types of MBA programme and the timing for careers. Provides a series of factors candidates should consider in selecting a programme and employers should consider before employing an MBA graduate.
