Japanese blame pampered’ MBAs
for trend away from manufacturing
By Norihiko Shirouau
■ Stanford Daily
Stanford U.
Japanese business leaders suspect
that the theoretical management style
learned in U S management masters
programs may not be particularly valu
able and that their US. counterparts
wrongly pamper employees who have
earned MBAs
These Japanese leaders are blaming
American business schools lor triggering
and reinforcing a U S trend away from
manufacturing This trend, they sav, will
aggravate trade imbalances lietwoen the
two countries by not creating enough
consumer products to sell to Japan.

USBC Consortium
A project of seven universities
Sony Corp Chairman Akio Monta is
perhaps the most blunt critic He blames
American business schools for “the
decline of the l '.S. economy." saying that
these schools have "deprived American
manufacturers of international compel
itiveness.”
(Graduate School of Business officials
at Stanford l disagree They said that
singling out American business schools
for the decline in international coni pet
itiveness by U S manufacturers is
unfair
Associate Dean for Academic Affairs
at Stanford's Business School Charles
Bonini argues that business schools are
aimed at teaching people how to work
within the framework of today’s busi
ness conditions
“Business schools are somewhat mar
ket responsive," he says “To some extent
we produce products that the market
wants And to the extent American
industry was not interested in people
with manufacturing interests and skills,
we responded to that.”
At Honda Motor Co., MBA holders are
a rarity Honda has traditionally been
run by hands-on managers
“Still, we do believe hands-on ex pen
etice should lorm the core tit niaiiageis
skills throughout their ranks,” says for
iner I ionda Managing Director and head
of North American operations Tetsuo
Chino Chinn says Honda does not
indulge in theory or speculations and
does not "really see anything special
about an MBA education ”
Bonini, on the other hand, says that
the business school tries to balance the
ory with practicality. “We do try to give
people theoretical foundations. But the
primary aim is to be practical and useful
in the framework of today’s business
reality,” he says.
Most Japanese manufacturers say
they prefer managers with hands-on
experience to run their operations
Many Japanese leaders claim that
MBA managers seem obsessed with
quick results and personal achievement,
while Japanese philosophy emphasizes
long-term perspectives and teamwork
Top manufacuring industry execu
tives say doors are opened as wide, but
not wider, for MBA-degree holders.
Chances are anyone coming into a
Japanese company will be sent to a sales
outlet or to an assembly plant The twist
to their assurance is that, unlike at
many I S. companies, an MBA degree
doesn't put employees in the corporate
fast lane.

shorter than five feet in length.
Hurry said the lofts will sell for about
$150 to $200 each, and that they have
applied for a patent
Hurry said they will begin marketing
them by raffling one off during spring
semester registration.
He said a student who buys the loft
as a freshman will still have it as a
senior, and the lofts can be stored any
where, even outside, while they’re not
in use
1 lurry said they have some good ideas
to put to use m the future, including
accessories like shelves, or colored lofts,
or maybe even dear PVt' pipe with neon
lights running through it.
