that’s because Harvard’s MBA program has been teaching “social responsibility” and not business for a quarter-century
My brother-in-law has a Harvard MBA and is a CEO for Seagate, twenty years. He does well, but the problem is he’s a flaming liberal. Well indoctrinated at Hahvahd.
I earned my MBA in 1992, at age 52, after earning my MS in 1990. I was still working at IBM, and had recently moved to “Technical Marketing Representative” from Systems Engineer. IBM was paying the full cost of both programs, and I am certain that these two “tickets” were the key to completing the 30 years at IBM that provided for the full, defined benefit retirement benefits I began to receive December 1, 1995.
These were the years when IBM broke its implied full employment policy and began large scale layoffs of long term, productive employees.
But during those years, they hired paid interns to work with us over the summers - and locally, we had one of the prizes, a Harvard MBA candidate. However, she was REALLY naive about information technology in general, and computers in particular.
What I found disturbing was the deference shown by local management to this young lady not even half way TO her MBA.
