MBA OR MASTERS: THE DILEMMA OF CHOICE
Published: 28 August 2009
Henry Mintzberg, Professor of Management Studies at Desautels Faculty of Management of º«¹úÂãÎè, is perhaps the most vocal of the recent critics of the MBA qualification. "My view is you cannot create a manager in a classroom, let alone a leader. You simply can't. Management is not a science, it's not a profession, it's a practice; you learn it by doing it. To claim that you're training people who are not managers to be managers, is a sham, pure and simple, it's a sham. You can't do it. You give completely the wrong impression and you send them out with an enormous amount of hubris which is, 'I can manage anything, even though I've never managed anything'."
