Chronicle of Higher Education - Business educators struggle to put students to work
Published: 14 April 2011
...Some observers believe it is a mistake to fetishize job preparation and the "rigor" of fields like accounting and finance. Those departments might demand more hours from their students, but they don't necessarily provide well-rounded educations, says Henry Mintzberg, a professor of management studies at º«¹úÂãÎè who is a dogged critic of traditional business programs. He says it is a "travesty" to offer vocational fields like finance or marketing to 18-year-olds. Instead, he supports a humanistic, multidisciplinary model of management education.
