Rethinking the MBA - For decades, MBA graduates from top-tier schools set the standard for cutting-edge business k nowledge and skills. Now the business world has changed, say Professor Datar and Professor Garvin – and MBA programs must change with it. They believe that MBA programs aren't giving students the heightened cultural awareness and global perspectives they need. Newly minted MBAs lack essential leadership skills. Creative and critical thinking demand far more attention. Professors Datar and Garvin will demonstrate how leading MBA programs, including HBS, have begun reinventing themselves for the better – and will offer ideas for how business schools can surmount the growing challenges in today’s business world.
Srikant M. Dat ar is the Arthur Lowes Dickinson Professor of Accounting at Harvard University. A graduate with distinction from the University of Bombay, he received gold medals upon graduation from the Indian Institute of Management, Ahmedabad, and the Institute of Cost and Works Accountants of India. A Chartered Accountant, he holds two masters degrees and a Ph.D. from Stanford University.
Davi d A. Garvin is the C. Roland Christensen Professor of Business Administration at the Harvard Business School. He joined the Business School faculty in 1979 and has since then taught courses in leadership, general management, and operations in the MBA and Advanced Management programs, as well as serving as chair of the Elective Curriculum and faculty chair of the School's Teaching and Learning Center. He has also taught in executive education programs and consulted for over fifty organizations around the globe, including Biogen Idec, Booz-Allen & Hamilton, BP, Frito-Lay, Gillette, L. L.
