To a very large extent,  possession of the MBA degree is a passport into the upper reaches of  management, and CEOs of many major corporations have earned an MBA. It  is a reasonable inference that the education received by these leaders  and managers during their MBA experience has an important impact on  the way that businesses throughout the world are led and managed and  that major corporate decisions are made. The heart of the MBA  education is the curriculum, and curriculum design is perhaps the most  important strategic function for a business school faculty to  undertake. \u003cbr\u003e  In order to understand the many issues concerning this contemporary  curriculum review, this book examines three related contextual  domains. First, it details the long-term growth of business and  management education. Second, it examines the major theoretical and  empirical literatures on organizational evolution and decision making,  paying special attention to decision making in institutions of higher  education. Finally, the book describes the previous major curriculum  review at Columbia Business School in the late 1950s and the  subsequent changes that formed the curriculum that was changed in  1992. \u003cbr\u003e  This book demonstrates what can be achieved by an institution that  sets high standards for its business education, and assists faculty  and administrators in other schools of business and management as they  contemplate revision of their curricula. In addition, it provides a  prime example of curriculum design effort in one of the leading  institutions worldwide. Finally, it will be of interest to scholars in  several different fields, notably, higher education curriculum review,  organizational decision making and long-run organizational evolution.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2011-10-01\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e ISBN-10: 9789401073127\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9789401073127\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-94-009-1822-1\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 490\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44352442302604,"sku":"9789401073127","price":99.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9789401073127.jpg?v=1755114584","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9789401073127","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
