Remember, a primary focus on MBA's is getting to
positions of power...
Now you're projecting! For every power-hungry poorly-managing CEO-wannabe MBA, there's someone who just wants to know how to administer a business well. A MBA is a (but certainly not the or the only) path to accomplishing that.
- Retric 10y agoDon't get defensive. a primary focus != only focus. But, networking for example is a large part of how MBA programs are setup. PS: Probably should have explicitly used MBA programs not MBA's for the place you quoted, but it's also a large motivator for many people getting an MBA.
- basseq 10y agoI don't have a MBA, so not much to get defensive about here. And I see what you're saying: yes, networking is a MAJOR part of a MBA. Morso than other programs. I don't think that translates to unmitigated desire for "power" so much as a desire to succeed and learn from well-connected peers. In which case, any well-regarded graduate or undergraduate program would have a similar benefit.
