A message from Raymond Ouellet, Director of MBA Programmes
In a recent issue of the International Herald
Tribune, the internationally acclaimed and globally-read newspaper, two
editorials help us understand the challenges facing MBA educators today.
In “The World is Upside Down” journalist Roger Cohen quotes Claudio
Frischtak, a Brazilian economist and consultant: “In an inverted world,
not only have developing economies become dominant forces in global
exports in the space of a few years, but their companies are becoming
major players in the global economy, challenging the incumbents that
dominated the international scene in the 20th century.”
Now the world that until recently was said to be “flat”, is upside
down. Are we doing enough to prepare our students to embrace this new
world?
In “Put a Little Science in your Life”, Brian Greene, a professor of
physics at Columbia University, speaks of how we’ve “witnessed an
upheaval in our understanding of the universe’s composition, yielding a
wholly new prediction for what the cosmos will be like in the far
future…You must master A before moving on to B. Certainly when it comes
to teaching the technicalities solving this equation, balancing that
reaction, grasping the discreet parts of the cell the verticality of
science is unassailable”.
We can easily accept this notion of linear verticality as a metaphor
for the linear horizontality of MBA education in recent years:
concentrating on the technicalities, the tools, frameworks,
methodologies to prepare managers and executives for the uncertainties
facing them. But business education like science, as Brian Greene says,
“is so much more than its technical details”.
We at RMS believe that there’s a place for technical details and their
instruction is at the heart of our MBA. However, we strive and will
continue to strive to identify and deliver what is needed beyond simple
results. We know you will come to us with questions to which we will be
able to provide many answers. Yet linear thinking won’t be enough
anymore. We like to believe that as a result of your RMS MBA experience
you will leave more curious and more inquisitive than when you came,
better able to ask the right questions. In that way, you will be
prepared to find the solutions to problems that have not yet even been
identified.
