中国MBA教育改革背景下的项目全景图:基于Co-plot分析

Panorama of China's MBA Programs under the Background of Education Reform:Based on the Co-plot Method

从1991年9所高校获得国务院学位委员会批准成为中国第一批招收MBA的院校,接着的第二批、第三批高校,再到决定在有关高校开展专业学位研究生教育综合改革试点工作,中国MBA项目迅速发展又相对较慢。特别是金融危机后面对全球商学教育的信用危机,MBA教育在中国从统一的课程设置到教育改革不断推行的背景下,其本土化教育又呈现出怎样的发展战略?本研究以前两批26所MBA的试点高等院校为研究对象,以中国高校商学院在MBA项目中的必修课程、选修方向以及特色项目为研究变量,基于Co-plot方法构建其战略群组的全景图,形成了四个大学群组和五个课程群组。通过比较中国大学MBA项目的课程体系的差异来寻找各个大学的特征,探索改革背景下中国MBA项目课程体系的变化,并与美国MBA项目的课程体系作比较,进而为中国MBA项目的本土化改革以及国际化推进提供一定的方向与建议。

Since 1991 when the first 9 universities were approved by Academic Degrees Committee of the State Council to enroll MBA students, more and more universities have been approved to do so, and more recently some universities were approved to launch comprehensive reform pilot work of postgraduates education. This is a rapid but relative slow development process of China＇ s MBA programs. The credit crisis confronting global business education especially after the financial crisis gives rise to the question of what strategy Chi- na＇ s local MBA education should follow in the situation where China is reforming its education system by diversifying away from the uni- fied curriculum provision. This paper draws upon 26 pilot MBA colleges of the first two batches and uses Co-plot method to build a strate- gic group panorama of four university groups and five course groups, with variables being required courses, course selection areas and specialty programs of China＇ s MBA schools. By comparing the differences in their MBA program system to find the characteristics of each school, we aim to explore the direction of China＇ s MBA curriculum system reform. Also by comparing with American MBA programs, we hope to provide some directions and suggestions for the localization and internationalization of China＇ s MBA programs innovation.
