Description
I WAS RECENTLY COLLARED by a young Polish man studying for an MBA. He had come to hear a debate at a British business school on the motion, "This House believes MBA's are best placed to lead us out of the financial crisis." I was on the opposing and losing team and was heading out of the door when he rushed up, his face wracked with concern. It was a look I had seen before. He had run his own small business in Poland and rustled up $30,000 or so to spend a year in the United Kingdom getting his MBA. Several weeks in, he feared he had bought a clunker. The classes seemed abstract and pointless. The faculty was made up of economists with little or no business experience. And his classmates, the network that business schools are renowned for developing--let's call it what it is, an old boys' club--were mostly Indians and Chinese who would be heading straight back East on graduation. It was highly unlikely any of them would play a role in his future in Eastern Europe.
