Nevada 89557 0012 (702) 784 6569 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.
