Happy Birthday, Harvard B-School By Daniel McGinn FROM Newsweek

"While top schools like Harvard still receive plenty of applications, many top-50 M.B.A. programs are seeing full-time enrollments decline as students migrate toward part-time or executive programs, which they view as more cost-effective. At some companies, longer-tenured employees without an M.B.A. face better odds of getting promoted than newcomers who hold the degree, and some employers now dissuade star employees from returning to school for an M.B.A. at all. Recruiters say the M.B.A.s they do hire have learned little about such skills as giving presentations, navigating corporate politics or leading co-workers." [emphasis added]
