It is incongruous that the number of British institutions offering MBA courses should have grown by 254’percent during a period when the economy has been sliding into deeper recession. Optimists, or those given to speedy assumptions, might think it marvellous to have such a resource of business school graduated ready for the recovery. Unfortunately, there is now much doubt about the value of the degree -- not least among MBA graduates themselves, suffering as they are from the effects of recession and facing the prospect of shrinking management structures.
What was taken some years ago as a ticket of certain admission to success is now being exposed to the scrutiny of cost conscious employers who seek’ can-dos’ rather than ’ might-dos’ , and who feel that academia has not been sufficiently appreciative of the needs of industry or of the employers’ possible contribution.
It is curious, given the name of the degree, that there should be no league table for UK business schools; no unanimity about what the degree should encompass; and no agreed system of accreditation. Surely there is something wrong. One wonders where all the tutors for this massive infusion of business expertise came from and why all this mushrooming took place.
Perhaps companies that made large investments would have been wiser to invest in already existing managers, perched anxiously on their own internal ladders. The Institute of Management’s 1992 survey, which revealed that eighty-one percent of managers thought they personally would be more effective if they received more training, suggests that this might be the ease. There is ,too, the fact that training alone does not make successful managers. They need the inherent qualifications of character; a degree of self-subjugation; and, above all, the ability to communicate and lead; more so now , when empowerment is a huzzword that is at least generating genuflexions, if not total conviction.
One can easily think of people, some comparatively unlettered, who are now lauded captains of industry. We may, therefore, not need to be too concerned about the fall in applications for business school places, or even the doubt about MBAs. The proliferation and subsequent questioning may have been an inevitable evolution. If the Management Charter Initiative, now exploring the introduction of a senior management qualification, is successful, there will be a powerful corrective.
We believe now that management is all about change. One hopes there will be some of that in the relationship between management and science within industry, currently causing concern and which is overdue for attention. NO one doubts that we need more scientists and innovation to give us an edge in increasingly competitive world. If scientists feel themselves undervalued and under-used, working in industrial ghettos, that is not a promising augury for the future. It seems we have to resolve these misapprehensions between science and industry. Above all, we have to make sure that management is not it self smug about its status and that it does not issue mission statements about communication without realizing the essence of it is a dialogue. More empowerment is required -- and we should! strive to achieve it. MBA: Master of Business Administration
In the writer’s opinion, ______.
选项
A、science increases competition
B、scientists are undervalued.
C、the management of science needs reassessment
D、management feels smug about its status
答案
C
解析
该题问:根据本文作者的意见,下面的哪一句是正确的?A项意为“科学增加竞争”,本文没有提及。B项意为“科学家们被低估价值”。在本文中最后一段是这样说的if scientists feel themselves undervalued and under used...,这只是一个假设,因此B项不正确。C项意为“科学的管理需要重新评价”,从文中最后一段中it seems we have to resolve these misapprehensions between science and industry可知C项为正确选项。D项意为“管理层对他的地位沾沾自喜”,文中没有提及。
