| Abstract: | Theory-driven graduate management education encourages a preference for analytic detachment over insight. Though consistent and standardized, the product of MBA education tends to be narrow, short-term, and technical, and it may commit the ultimate sin of of actually educing commitment to lifelong learning. Theory-based programs suffer the risk of leaving students with the impression that management problems can be nestled into neat technical packages. |
