FT Ask the Experts - The future of Business Schools

Fri, 12 Jun 2009 06:04:04 -0700

The economic crisis has thrown business schools into disarray. Deans and professors are suffering a crisis of confidence and are seriously questioning the structure and content of a twenty-first century management education. At the same time, business schools are searching for a way to contribute to global economic recovery. How can trust be rebuilt in business schools in general and the MBA programme in particular? Participating in this Q&A session were: Paul Danos, Dean of the Tuck School at Dartmouth College; Yash Gupta, Dean of the Johns Hopkins Carey Business School; Frank Brown, Dean of Insead; Santiago Iñiguez, Dean of IE Business School in Spain; and Della Bradshaw, Business Education Editor of the Financial Times.

Recession blame game - Philip Delves Broughton answers his critics

Thu, 04 Jun 2009 08:59:29 -0700

He is the man whom business schools love to hate, and last month they were able to get their own back by having a go at him in person. The occasion was a debate at the London campus of ESCP Europe, where Philip Delves Broughton, the journalist who wrote the expos of Harvard Business School's MBA, was asked to explain himself before an audience of MBA students and professors. He turned out to be a slippery target. For a start, his book, which is now a bestseller, is in no way a sober analysis of the MBA course, but more of a romp about how a relative outsider - he was Paris correspondent of The Daily Telegraph - got into, and graduated from, the most famous business school in the world. "It is about what I saw and heard - and about my own ambivalence," he explained. In the USA, his book was called Ahead of the Curve: Two Years at Harvard Business School on the grounds that Harvard MBAs are graded on a forced curve from best to worst. Your academic survival depends on where you are placed on the curve, he says. Throughout the book, he argues that this obsession with relative position is a recipe for misery. His book describes his own, not always successful, efforts to ignore these curves and to follow his own path... Lucy Hodges writes in The Independent. Philip Delves Broughton's original article in The Times. Video from the ESCP-EAP Panel Discussion.

Panel Debate - MBAs and the recession

Mon, 01 Jun 2009 01:23:30 -0700

In March of this year, Times journalist Philip Delves Broughton wrote: Business schools have shown a remarkable ability to miss economic catastrophes unfolding before their eyes." In an article named ' Harvard's Masters of the Apocalypse', Delves Broughton lay the blame for the current global recession squarely at the feet of MBA graduates, a group he described less than flatteringly as a, swollen class of jargon-spewing, value-destroying financiers and consultants [that] have done more than any other group of people to create the economic misery we find ourselves in." As providers of a highly-rated MBA, ESCP Europe invited Delves Broughton to take part on a debate on the subject, sharing the panel with Jeanette Purcell, Chief Executive for the Association of MBAs, Davide Sola, Director of ESCP Europe's London campus, and moderator Lindsay Williams, former BBC business correspondent.

Market Microstructure and the Emerging Markets Group at Cass Business School

Mon, 25 May 2009 02:26:23 -0700

The Emerging Markets Group (EMG) at Cass recently held its third workshop focusing on the microstructure of financial markets. Organised by Kate Phylaktis, Professor of International Finance and Director of the EMG, the workshop included presentations from academics from the US, Holland, Norway and UK on microstructure issues relating to equities and foreign exchange markets. Tarun Chordia, R. Howard Dobbs Professor of Finance, Goizueta Business School, Emory University (Atlanta, USA) was the keynote speaker and talked about the highly topical issue of illiquidity and how it impacts differently the buy and sell side of stock prices. Using a large cross-section of stocks over more than 20 years he finds pervasive evidence that sell-side illiquidity exceeds buy-side illiquidity. Other speakers included Albert Menkveld from VU University (Amsterdam), Carol Osler from Brandeis University (US), Geir Hoidal Bjonnes from the Norwegian School of Management BI (Norway) Richard Payne from Warwick Business School (UK) and Mike Bowe from Manchester Business School (UK). The presentations covered a variety of topics including the existence of private information in FOREX markets, which can give some participants an advantage; the impact of futures trading on the quality of the cash market, which has implications for regulators; and the information that can be inferred from a limit order book in the absence of trading. Professor Phylaktis said: "The papers were thought provoking and were followed by lively discussions. This is the essence of a workshop. This is the third EMG workshop on the microstructure of financial markets; given the importance and interest in the topic, the EMG will continue to support this network in the future".

Wanted - Corporate Sponsor for London Business School Research Group

Mon, 18 May 2009 03:57:30 -0700

A centre for research into women in business at London Business School will fall victim to the financial crisis next month unless a corporate sponsor emerges to save it. The threat to the centre highlights the difficulties business schools worldwide are having raising funds for research into areas of concern to companies. The centre was established in 2006 with a five-year pledge of £1.75m from Lehman Brothers, the investment bank that collapsed last year. Its aim was to become the leading research centre on gender diversity in Europe, linking academia and corporate practitioners. Its research, such as a study that demonstrates how gender balance in teams benefits innovation, has gained wide circulation... Alison Maitland writes in the FT.

Bangor Business School Profile at MoneyScience. Bangor University is the only Welsh University to top any of the 67 subject tables in the UK Research Assessment Exercise (RAE) published recently.

It is an excellent achievement to not only be judged as conducting world-leading research but also to have the accolade of being the only department in a Welsh university topping any of the 67subject tables. The School aims to build on its achievements by continuing to advance its teaching and research environment and a big thanks to all the students and staff that made it possible for us to be No.1.” In the last RAE survey seven years ago, only Bangor and Cardiff in Wales achieved a top five score for a business school discipline.

100% Executive MBA Scholarship from Henley Business School-The Times

Thu, 30 Apr 2009 06:51:25 -0700

Henley Business School Profile It is the time of year when Henley Business School in association with The Times looks for the best of the best to join their Executive MBA programme for September 2009. For the third year running Henley, one of Europe's largest full service business schools, is looking to award a 100% scholarship for the part-time MBA programme to an exceptional candidate http://business.timesonline.co.uk/tol/business/management/ The Henley MBA is designed especially for experienced managers, celebrating knowledge and perspectives from around the world and from every industry. Programme members have great business backgrounds and plenty of successes to share. The MBA therefore doesn't just provide cutting-edge theory to help develop strategic management and leadership skills but also gives a practical, real-world focus that draws on all the members' achievements. At a time of global upheaval interest levels in the Henley MBA are high and as Henley prides itself on small classes, individual attention and high interactivity all intakes have been filled. This may also be due to the position Henley takes on the responsibility of business schools. As the world considers the concept of 'back to basics' business Henley has always been underpinned by the ethical base of business. Its published core purpose is to 'develop managers and leaders to make the right choices; right for themselves, right for their organisations and right for the wider communities in which they exist.' The Henley Executive MBA is a two year part-time programme for experienced, practising managers looking to complete their MBA alongside full-time employment. It provides the best of both worlds – the ability to study for a world class programme while continuing to build your existing career, earn a salary and avoid taking time out of the workplace. Real highs for students include the opportunity to learn alongside a group of talented like-minded managers from a vast range of industries and global businesses, the ability to apply everything learnt to their own role or business, the underpinning focus on personal development that remains with the programme member for life and allows them to carry on driving themselves forward long after graduation and also the global application through two international project based visits across Africa, Asia or Europe. The Executive MBA prepares members for senior management roles and indeed is ranked number one in the UK by the Financial Times for 'career progression'. As the abilities and experiences of the students are of such significance Henley looks for great people who can add real value to the programme – wherever they come from in the world and wherever they want to go. The Henley Business School/Times scholarship rewards the candidate who really stands out – whether through academic achievements, professional experience or something else that demonstrates their value. Last year's award was made to PC Dan Stork Banks whose profile appeared in the Times back in January. Dan, a police constable from Hampshire, started to think about an MBA after reading an article from Professor Bones – "I had started to consider management within the police and I realised that an MBA would be a catalyst with my career and give me the ability to achieve the kind of influence I wanted," PC Stork Banks said. "A police officer, with the best will in the world, is still a drone. I want to be able to take a strategic influence over the welfare of disadvantaged communities [and], if I am ever to have a strategic influence on things I care about, I need to be an effective manager. You have to know where the power lines are to generate real change." It was the belief that an MBA would help him to make a more practical difference to people's lives that encouraged him to apply for the programme and the scholarship. "I was given a great opportunity with this scholarship and I am going to use it as far as possible for the benefit of my family [and] the benefit of others," he said. To be considered for the 100% scholarship, worth almost £40,000, applicants need to complete the normal Henley MBA application process as well as produce a 250 word extended personal statement outlining the value that they will bring to the programme . The deadline for this scholarship application is Friday 8 May. To register your interest in the scholarship and to receive full details of the application process please contact scholarship@henley.com or call +44(0)1491 418803. Henley also offers the MBA via 1 year full-time and 3 year distance learning modes. For further details on all www.henley.com/mba or +44(0)1491 418803.

The Coming Business School Shakeout

Fri, 17 Apr 2009 10:31:02 -0700

Globalization has fueled the good times for business schools. Since the 1980s, billions of people have joined the world's market-oriented economies, and massive improvements in the well-being of diverse societies have spiked demand to learn how to market products, become entrepreneurs, and lead organizations. When properly done, an MBA education provides deep insights into how organizations work and the nature of competition. For business schools themselves, the good times have meant more money—tuition increases have exceeded inflation for each of the past 27 years. More students have gained entry into management education through a somewhat odd mix of schools, ranging from high-end universities deciding that they couldn't do without a business school to stand-alone entrants in hot spots around the world. The number of new business schools is so staggering that accreditation agencies have only a rough handle on the 10,000 schools now operating throughout the world... Edward A. Snyder writes for BusinessWeek.
