American Business Schools are seedbeds of leftist
propaganda. What's worse, the net result is students who learn to kiss
up for fear of arousing leftists lunatics and see the kissing up as a
substitute for ethics. Ultimately the charade of modern business
schools thrives because they delude greedy but temperamentally
unsuitable students into thinking that people skills can be taught
from books in adulthood and not in early childhood from more basic
experiences. Many professors of business schools never practiced
business, or if they did, they seek to avenge their short but
traumatic experience. With the advent of differential pay, faculty
from other disciplines (engineering, economics, psychology) transfer
to b-schools without any real interest in their subject. Peter
Drucker and Michael Porter made more of their mark in the popular
press, because they were too lazy to work in the serious journals.
Since a lot of business is psychology and sociology, cultism, started
by none other than Freud, is rampant. Let's examine their teachings.
Participative management came to us via Myrdal Scandinavia and Tito
Yugoslavia and was largely based on the Tavistok studies whose sample
size was a mere thirty. This was foisted on Japan by a MacArthur who
believed that a little socialism was needed to combat resurgence of
fascism. Yet in the 1980s leftist faculty found all sorts of things
the Japanese themselves wanted to get rid of to try to impose on
us. Do these gurus today apologize now that Japan is in trouble? No,
they seek to have us emulate communist China, or the "knowledge"
feudalism of the university. Wait, didn't the university-style
environment they promote cause Arthur Andersen and KPMG so much
trouble? Did they ever tell you that large USA made cars weren't the
problem in the 1970s, but that gas prices made consumers buy smaller
USA-name cars made with defective Asian parts and yet somehow the
peaceniks who rebelled and bought "pacifist" Japanese cars turned this
into something else. Also, as USA education was deteriorating, our
mechanics weren't telling us the reason they preferred foreign cars
was because they had no clue how to upkeep the computerised USA 1980s
carborateurs. Now, as customer service has become automated and
effectively plummeted to 1970s levels, did anyone mention it was
caused by the petroleum inflationary environment, and the excellent
customer service of the 1985-95 era was due to low inflation, as
inflation is intimately involved with mass paranoia and irrationality?
The captains of American Industry didn't believe in democratic
capitalism: Henry Ford was denied WW2 mil contracts because of his
Nazi ties, Edison's sidekick Steinmetz was a socialist, and John D
Rockefeller believed the monopolistic efficiency of his Standard Oil
was theocratically mandated; It should therefore be of no surprise
that these "captains of industry" set up business schools that didn't
believe in the American way of business.
July 19, 2002 Controversial Study Questions the Value of an M.B.A.
By KATHERINE S. MANGAN Although master's programs in business
administration continue to attract record numbers of applicants,
little evidence exists that the degrees enhance people's careers or
earnings potential, a Stanford University business professor contends
in a controversial new report. The professor, Jeffrey Pfeffer,
examined 40 years' worth of studies that purported to prove the
economic value of an M.B.A., which can cost $100,000 or more at an
elite school. "There is little evidence that mastery of the knowledge
acquired in business schools enhances people's careers, or that even
attaining the M.B.A. credential itself has much effect on graduates'
salaries or career attainment," he concluded in an article scheduled
for publication in the fall issue of the journal Academy of Management
Learning and Education.. His report was bolstered, however, by
another critical report issued by the primary accreditor of business
schools, AACSB International: the Association to Advance Collegiate
Schools of Business. The association's report didn't challenge the
validity of the degree, but it did question the relevance of much of
what is taught in M.B.A. programs and suggested that many textbooks
and professors are out of date. In a report titled "Management
Education at Risk," a special committee set up by the association
concluded that business schools do an inadequate job of teaching
interpersonal, leadership, and communication skills. It also suggested
that faculty members forge closer ties with business managers to
ensure that students learn needed skills. "Preparation for the rapid
pace of business cannot be obtained from textbooks and cases, many of
which are outdated before they are published," the report
said. Students don't learn enough about global businesses, largely
because their professors have had little international experience, the
committee added.
