China's MBA education : the heart and brain inversion

Chinese companies become bigger and stronger the more difficult path? Management is the elite. Management elite How to Make? Of course, a system of training and extensive practice. However, some of China's MBA education has to end sword front, resulting in graduates embarrassing task is mainly due to fragmented business schools, the lack of consistency in various materials, the same can not be professionals in the same platform for dialogue, June 3, Professor Lang in "First Financial "channel program issued such a challenge. As economists, I recall with deep emotion, but for MBA education, I had another different view.

This should be in December 1993 issued the first of China's Ministry of the "Company Law" Talking about that time, the government and the business and economic sector began promoting the establishment of a modern enterprise system, in 1996, began to gradually become popular "group" name is no longer look back on 10 years of change, reading "Group "banner of the number of enterprises is really the most ah.

"Company Law" to bring to us? I think that many people are not clear, including the government economic officials and published many articles, expression of economists, after all, China's "Company Law" is the introduction of Europe and the United States. "Company Law" to the global economy are the three major contributions : one, limited liability and unlimited liability; 2, the enterprise ownership and management rights is separated; Third, the corporate governance structure of the basic definition (Board of Trustees, the general manager and the board of supervisors the right to check three rules). But in the country's current economics and business management areas, only ambiguous interpreted as a limited liability and unlimited liability, the latter two points but inattentive.

From China's promulgation of the "Company Law" that day, like pop music, like MBA in China to spread open and enjoying Cleveland's Zydrunas Ilgauskas, as treatment, but 10 years, the MBA in China has entered a mixed review of the situation at that time, the enterprise ownership and management rights and the problem of tomorrow the garbled. In fact, we badly need a high standard of professional managers, but China's MBA education is the base on the error occurred, and why? We visited arbitrarily to include Tsinghua University, Fudan University, Central College MBA students, the answer is that the MBA learning enterprise strategic decision, but also get to know some personal connections. Error here. Since the MBA is to train professional managers, of course, in relation to the right level of business, is the first general manager for the Chief Executive's execution, rather than ownership of enterprises at the board level strategic decision to exercise the functions of thinking; In other words, the general manager of the enterprise is the "heart , "is the driving force implementing agencies, the Board of enterprises" brains "of thinking policy-making body, the" heart "to do" brain "of the matter, it will certainly be mistakes.

Obviously, after the influence of MBA career professional manager, the corresponding target is to promote business to achieve the right level of professional, and not a substitute for corporate ownership level of responsibilities and functions. Unfortunately, China's MBA professors always in the enterprise ownership level functions of a strategic decision to do "article" ignores the right level of business management on the (administrative) functions, got the priorities wrong. Take a look at our economics and business management professional and professors, most of the enterprises the right level of academic experts, the level of ownership of enterprises is the lack of academic; Unfamiliar with their professional enthusiasm to teach the students were high, what would be the result? Of course, really difficult to learn knowledge, presumably to the so-called personal connections it.

I am in favor of professional managers of the market, summed up what I have said is, in fact, China is pursuing an MBA in the 10 years of detours. Regardless of our local business school MBA training, or in overseas business school gold-plated professional managers, in this country full of opportunities have found their "place" ... at least, we have been accustomed to play general manager of the functions of an enterprise is not the majority shareholder, Note on the country's corporate governance standards has been groping in the dark. forward for a very long road. The objective fact is grim. Chinese enterprises operating in the right level to achieve continuous professional managers in the enterprise level of ownership of the directors remain at "Following Sensation" of the state, followed the "airborne force" might be difficult to play along with the disappointment, the enterprises can do "big", but it is not a "strong" and the scale of operations more "big", the higher the risk coefficient. How genuine standard of professional managers in the enterprises can find a future? UFIDA once airborne, Mr. President The retail game and the general manager of TCL Mobile Communication GOING Mr. dejected orthodoxy, these are inevitable.

Professional managers in fact business is the right level of experts, he is playing the play Viscera functions, whether in the West economically developed countries in Europe and the United States, or in the market economy in Southeast Asian countries, because of its corporate governance structure from the whole with a sense of "Board, the Director managers and the board of supervisors three separation of powers "of the law, the professional managers have genuine talent can be fully utilized. Through research, we found that Motorola, IBM, Microsoft, Softbank, Shell, JP Morgan, Michelin, Cheung Kong Holdings, HSBC, Nokia and other global strategic enterprises, their commonality in here.

MBA education in China to the market economy needs to be professional managers in China's success, we must take the corporate governance structure of clear definition, it is necessary enterprise ownership and management of the relationship between the right to be sorted out, some luxury again, is the progressive realization of professional directors, must not something done in defiance trip.

I once wrote an article called "balance and checks and balances" that China's enterprise management disciplines and developed market economy countries of Europe and the United States lies in the distinction between different from the subconscious is different. We introduced the MBA subjects itself is correct and the promotion of professional responsibility as a manager is correct, and if we study and the introduction of the only "form" but not "substance", it is not metaphysics? Even MBA academic benchmark is at the right level of business are ambiguous, such "absurd" things we must correct ah.
