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.
It can be inferred from the last paragraph that the HBS facultymembers are______launching the field method.

本题考查对文章最后一段内容的理解。实践教学法作为一种创新手段,在哈佛商学院内部投票表决时遇到了一定的阻力,根据上下文我们可以看到,商学院内部对于推行这一项目存在资金和效果方面的担忧,而作为倡议者,诺利亚先生的这番回答the result is“as enthusiastic as you could get from a faculty”是对于不理想的投票结果的一种掩饰。因此,本题的正确答案应该选[B]。
