More Success than Meets the Eye—A Challenge to Critiques of the MBA
基于MBA学习的实证研究，本文发现MBA学习对管理实践的价值比批评者认为的更大，且这种学习与批判性管理理解相呼应，暗示一种隐蔽的批判管理教育已在运作。
Management education generally, and MBA programmes in particular, have been persistently criticized for failing to speak adequately to management practice. One response to such criticisms has been to suggest a wider consideration of critical management education (CME). Drawing on research findings from an empirical study of MBA learning, the article argues that MBA learning can be seen as more valuable to the manager in practice than critics contend. Moreover, the learning which is valued resonates with both a critical understanding of management and critical accounts of the role of management education, suggesting that a covert form of CME may already be operating. We argue that further building on this understanding provides the potential for a more prominent CME. Specifically, we propose that the experience brought to and lived within the MBA programme provides an opportunity for `problematizing' accepted ways of making sense of the world.
