Business schools need to address students on a human being level, not as cogs in the machine to supply fresh talent to big companies.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Business has to have a seat at the table. Infrastructure isn't going to be built properly if business doesn't have a seat at the table. A school is not going to happen if businesses don't work with schools about what kind of jobs they really need.
We mislead ourselves when we pretend we can make someone into an effective manager by putting them through a few courses in business school.
If you focus on the single question of who knows best what students need in the workforce, it's the people already in the workforce. Why not give industry a voice?
If we would change the basis and align what is taught in school with what is needed with business... that's where I came up with this idea of 'new collar.' Not blue collar or white collar.
Most business schools are geared toward churning out investment bankers and management consultants.
If a student takes a Stanford computer class and a Princeton business class, it shows they are motivated and have skills. We know it has helped employees get better jobs.
We're trying to be the top employer of recent grads in the country. Size gives us leverage to have a tangible impact on school systems.
Businesses need to define what they need so training providers can offer up the right training.
Businessmen are not in business to lose customers, and schools do not exist to free their clients from the agencies of mass persuasion. School and media possess a productive monopoly upon the imagination of a child.
The only thing you need to set up a business school is a warm body and a piece of chalk.
