Finding
the best and most appropriate business school requires more than following
trends and assessing rankings. Dennis and Smith offer an approach that is
designed to help prospective MBA students cast their nets widely, thinking more
expansively, creatively, and strategically, with both short- and long-term
implications in mind. Discussing the pros and cons of a formal business
education (in the context of evolving attitudes toward management and the role
of the MBA in developing successful leaders), the authors help readers identify
their underlying motivations for pursuing an MBA, learn how to read between the
lines of the popular rankings, and utilize the concept of return on investment
(ROI) to evaluate programs on the basis of their contribution to long-term
professional and personal goals. At a time when one-fourth of all master's
degrees conferred are in business, Finding the Best Business School for You offers
practical insights for making wise decisions and getting the most out of the
MBA experience.
The truth is
that, in response to changes in the global business environment, many schools
are redesigning their curricula, forging closer ties with businesses, and
giving students more freedom to customize their degrees. Some of the most
innovative programs are being designed at public universities and other
institutions out of the spotlight.
