After more than a century, have business schools delivered on their original promise? That depends on your interpretation, say British business journalists Crainer and Dearlove. But whatever impact business schools have had, they conclude, it hasn't all been positive. Times have changed, and business schools haven't; they need to face up to the competition from consultants and the more than 1500 "corporate universities" in the United States alone. The authors' frequent put-downs of Harvard Business School and their glorification of INSEAD, the elite French business school, may suggest a Eurocentric bent. But they support their arguments with quotes from quite a few well-known North Americans in business education with serious critiques of the major schools, their teaching methods, and the competence of graduates. Greater emphasis on technology, better philosophical connections with the market they serve, and cooperative programs and projects are some of the approaches that they think can save MBA programs. Required reading for aspiring MBA students and corporate human resources managers; MBA administrators and faculty should read it but probably won't.ASusan DiMattia, "Library Hotline" & "Corporate Library Update"

From

Crainer and Dearlove are both business journalists who live in Oxford, England; Crainer previously compiled The Ultimate Business Library (1997). In this critique of business education worldwide, no school escapes unscathed. The authors question whether business schools have helped produce better managers and whether the research they carry out has helped the business community be more effective. They document a litany of complaints. Schools fail to provide any grounding in ethics or the human side of management. The Harvard case method is seriously flawed. Faculty members are recruited like athletes for their "marquee value," with little requirement that they actually teach. Too much time is devoted to outside consulting. Too much effort is devoted to securing a top ranking among the growing number of "best school" lists. Along with the criticisms, however, the authors recommend solutions. They also consider the future of business education in light of growing competition for the lucrative executive education market from consultants that conduct training seminars and from distance-learning providers. Published last year in Britain, this work has now been customized for American readers. David Rouse
