Rethinking Master's degrees in business and management: a more diverse offering?

摘要

Since the 1960s there has been a proliferation of business degrees in the UK and abroad. The early degrees were based on American models from institutions such as Harvard Business School and Sloan School of Management at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). The Americans have dominated the field and all other schools are compared to the Americans in the ranking lists (e.g. Financial Times, UK). In the UK, the London and Manchester business schools were founded specially to improve competiveness. London was based on the Harvard case study model (although it now offers a Sloan Fellowship program) and Manchester followed the MIT Sloan model.
