功过是非:MBA教育反思

Merits and Demerits:An Introspection over Review of MBA Education

MBA教育是为企业、社会和国家培养管理型人才,其教育内容应该注重伦理道德、文化心理以及法律规范的熏陶,以促进整个社会的合作;然而,商业主义膨胀却使得MBA教育日益功利化和实用化,蜕化为一门服务于个人发财的技术训练学科。相应地,当前MBA教育出来的往往是缺乏社会性的"MBA人",其行为和管理方式都是为了提高特定个体或群体的利益而不是增进整个组织的有效性,从而强化社会的冲突而非合作。因此,人文性的不足正是MBA教育中的症结所在,它将现代管理引向一个严峻困境。

The purpose of MBA education is to train management talents for companies, societies and countries. Accordingly, the content of the education should focus on ethics, cultural psychology and legal norm in order to promote the cooperation of society as a whole. Unfortunately, owing to the expansion of commercialism, MBA education has become increasingly utilitarian and practical and degenerated into a technical training subject serving individual wealth. Correspondingly, the MBA-men educated by current MBA courses are usually devoid of sociality. Their behavior and management practices are designed to promote the specific individual or group interests rather than enhance the effectiveness of the whole organization, thus strengthening social conflict rather than cooperation. Therefore, lack of humanity is the crux of MBA education and it will lead modern management to a serious dilemma.
