Is the new MBA, a failure?

Posted in Community :

My expertise is on a different domain so I need to discuss about a few fundamentals. The "fresher" status is terrifically underrated by Indian industries. Here internship and dissertation projects are not mandatory in different professional courses offered by institutes and Universities. We cannot mark a new MBA as a failure or only hypothetic, in this regard. We need to classify the new MBA's by their skills and even after proper opening (at least during the course) for them is provided.

By sumit mishra, MBA/PGDM student, UPES \| 06 22 2010 05:43:20 +0000 Edit \| Delete Support \| Oppose 0 0 I think its a failure. Most B-school students are theory junkies who flounder if their role doesn’t fit the textbook definition. They should have learnt the ropes at that elite B-school, with its summer projects and work experience placements. This is not just in the Indian context but happens globally too. Respect for (other) members on teams, a sharing attitude, are values that one believes are taught to students in their homes, hopefully. They reflect what society has unfortunately become—money is the only thing that counts. But it is only a matter of disciplining them at the start by organizations and they will come around.

Is the new MBA, a failure?

	Is the new MBA, a failure? Created by : Deepali Tandon, MBA student, St. Joseph's College of Business Administration \| 06 21 2010 15:24:21 +0000 Industry : Radio, TV & FilmsFunctional Area : India(Markets) Keywords : mba failure Activity: 280 views; last activity : 07 06 2010 20:18:09 +0000 Hiring an MBA graduate from a reputed B-school campus is all about acquiring a prized asset. Organizations believe these young minds can make business decisions that will eventually translate into quantum jumps in the company’s balance sheet. This should bea happy honeymoon for both the new recruits and the organization. Most organizations, after hiring MBAs who come with minimal or no work experience, complain that these recruits are unfamiliar with basic work etiquette. Industry experts put these problems down to lack of exposure or, in some cases, inflated egos. B-school freshers (MBA graduates with no prior work experience) need to be aware that the organization they join invests a lot in their learning. They need to know that they are potential future leaders and need to be sensitive to the norms, policies and practices (etiquette, dress code) of the organization they join. There are two categories of B-school graduates with no prior experience. Both these grads enter the corporate world with no idea of what the real world looks like. It is tough to assess these graduates’ capability to manage everyday work, behaviour at workplace with peers, seniors, customers, vendors during the campus interviews. So users, do you think the new MBA is a failure?
