MBA Admission Criteria and an Entrepreneurial Mind-Set: Evidence From “Western” Style MBAs in India and Thailand
研究调查了283名印度和泰国MBA学生对职业吸引力的评估,发现GMAT高分与更厌恶工作努力和风险的职业心态相关,可能不利于筛选出有创业倾向的申请者。
We investigate the assessments of career attractiveness by 283 MBA students from India and Thailand, to use GMAT and work experience to explain variance in mind-sets that have previously been associated with successful managers. The fast-moving global economy requires managers to have an entrepreneurial mind-set, yet we find that MBA students with higher GMAT scores have career mind-sets that are more averse to work effort and to risk, and therefore, the GMAT may discriminate against applicants with a greater propensity to behave entrepreneurially.
