Young mums shopping in the Copley Mall in downtown Boston last month found themselves being questioned about their use of soap by students from Harvard Business School (HBS). The students were not doing odd jobs to earn beer money. They were preparing to help a firm in Brazil launch an
Fieldwork—i. e. , going out and talking to people—is a big change for HBS. Its students used to sit in a classroom and discuss case studies written by professors. Now they may also work in a developing country and launch a start-up. "Learning by doing" will become the norm, if a radical overhaul of the MBA curriculum succeeds.
Nitin Nohria, who became dean of HBS in July 2010, has long lamented the failure of business schools to fulfill their mission of turning management into a profession similar to law or medicine. Asked what should be expected from someone with an MBA, he replies that "obviously, they should master a body of knowledge. But we should also expect them to apply that knowledge with some measure of judgment. " MBA students have long been sent on summer internships with prospective employers, but HBS, like most business schools, did little else to help them with the practical application of management studies.
The new field practice will include three elements. First, team-building exercises. Students take turns to lead a group engaged in a project such as designing an "eco-friendly sculpture". They learn to collaborate and to give and take feedback.
Second, students will be sent to work for a week with one of more than 140 firms in 11 countries. Already the new intakes have had conference calls with these companies, ranging from the Brazilian soapmaker to a Chinese property firm.
In the third novel part of the course, students will be given eight weeks, and seed money of $ 3,000 each, to launch a small company. The most successful, as voted by their fellow students, will get more funding. It remains to be seen if this amounts to much more than a business-plan competition, though Mr. Nohria says he hopes some real businesses will be created.
In January, the vote in favor of trying the field method had been held among HBS professors, and the result is "as enthusiastic as you could get from a faculty," says Mr. Nohria, wryly. The experiment does not come cheap, adding 10-15% to the course’s cost, which HBS will bear while it figures out what works. Besides, it is unclear how much the one-week working assignments will achieve. Pankaj Ghemawat, a management guru, says "the literature suggests that an immersion experience needs to be at least 2-3 weeks and be backed up with time in the classroom. " The HBS students’ classroom preparation will have to be pretty thorough, then, to make up for the brevity of their field trips.
In the past, the teaching objective of HBS is mainly fulfilled by______.
选项
A、sending students to conduct a variety of fieldwork
B、encouraging students to take internships in big companies
C、engaging students in the discussion and study of business cases
D、lecturing on important business definitions, theories and principles
答案
C
解析
本题主要考查对文章第二段中一个细节内容的理解。实践教学法fieldwork是哈佛大学的一项新举措,而以前哈佛大学的学生是通过坐在教室中和教授讨论商业案例来学习商业知识的。“Its students used to sit in a classroom and discuss case studies written by professors.”因此本题的正确答案应该选[C]。其他几项答案中[A]利用fieldwork设置反向干扰,[B]利用第三段中的intern一词设置干扰,[D]答案是原文中没有的内容,属于无关干扰。
