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.
Students mentioned in Paragraph 1 are______.
选项
A、doing part-time job to earn some pocket money
B、conducting a survey on Americans’ hygienic habit
C、promoting a new product for a Brazil company
D、involved in a filed work experimented by HBS
答案
D
解析
第一段中,作者提到了一些学生在波士顿市区的科普利商场开展社会调查。这些学生并不是在打零工赚零花钱,他们在帮助一家准备发布一款新型的抗病菌洁面乳的巴西公司做前期准备工作。根据这些信息,我们可以判断[A]答案错误。[B]答案也错误,他们并不是在调查美国人的卫生习惯,而是在为某家公司做关于洁面乳产品的市场调查。[C]答案利用Brazil company和new product设置干扰。注意,原文第一段中明确指出巴西这家公司还没有推出新产品,只是在做前期的准备工作,因此不能说学生们已经在帮他们推销新产品了。根据下文内容判断,只有[D]答案正确。哈佛商学院的这批学生是在参与社会实践活动,而这项社会实践活动是由哈佛商学院的新院长提出来的,那就是“在做中学”。
