刚刚更新 编辑: 美国 浏览次数:360 移动端

  MBA学习包含了一个为期两年的课程。在第一学年和第二学年之间的一个月暑假中,学生可以进行实习活动。

  第一年课程:

  Finance I: This course examines the role of finance in supporting the functional areas of a firm, and fosters an understanding of how financial decisions themselves can create value.

  Financial Reporting and Control (FRC): Recognizing that accounting is the primary channel for communicating information about the economics of a business, this course provides a broad view of how accounting contributes to an organization.

  Leadership and Organizational Behavior (LEAD): This course focuses on how managers become fective leaders by addressing the human side of enterprise.

  Marketing: The objectives of this course are to demonstrate the role of marketing in the company; to explore the relationship of marketing to other functions; and to show how fective marketing builds on a thorough understanding of buyer behavior to create value for customers.

  Technology and Operations Management (TOM): This course enables students to develop the skills and concepts needed to ensure the ongoing contribution of a firm's operations to its competitive position. It helps them to understand the complex processes underlying the development and manufacture of products as well as the creation and delivery of services.

  Business, Government, and the International Economy (BGIE): This course introduces tools for studying the economic environment of business to help managers understand the implications for their companies.

  Strategy: The objective of this course is to help students develop the skills for formulating strategy. It provides an understanding of:

  The Entrepreneurial Manager (TEM): This course addresses the issues faced by managers who wish to turn opportunity into viable organizations that create value, and empowers students to develop their own approaches, guidelines, and skills for being entrepreneurial managers.

  Finance II: This course builds on the foundation developed in Finance I, focusing on three sets of managerial decisions:

  Leadership and Corporate Accountability (LCA): In this course, students learn about the complex responsibilities facing business leaders today. Through cases about difficult managerial decisions, the course examines the legal, ethical, and economic responsibilities of corporate leaders. It also teaches students about management and governance systems leaders can use to promote responsible conduct by companies and their employees, and shows how personal values can play a critical role in fective leadership.

  第二年学生可以根据自己的喜好,自由选课:During the second year, students choose from an unparalleled range of elective courses to build on the basic concepts developed in the Required Curriculum. This portion of the program enables students to integrate the functional skills learned in the first year into an understanding of the firm as a total enterprise.

  Students may take any combination of courses—up to five courses per semester—and also have the opportunity to cross-register for courses in other select graduate programs.

  一年级课程的典型安排是,每周上午三节80分钟的课。每节课基本安排一个案例,一般学生准备一个案例要3—4个小时,加上课外学习小组和上课时间,每天大概要学习13一18个小时。很多学生差不多每天要学习到凌晨一两点钟,然后睡上几小时,再爬起来去上。8点半的课。学生们估算,至少有75%的学习任务被压缩在第一年的两个学期内;20%则留到第二年的第一个学期,到第二个学期只剩下了5%的学习任务。因此可以说,第一年要没命地学,第二年可以拼命地玩。第一年的第一个学期,对第一个进过哈佛商学院的人来讲,都是难以忘怀的。可以说,这是一个“学而生畏”的学期。这一学期的课程都是必修课。任何人都不能弃权和例外,哪怕你是注册会计师,你也必须上会计课。刚进学院的新生对独特的案例教学法尚不熟悉,准备起来困难重重、几十页一个的案例,对于非英语圈的留学生来讲,更是蜀道青天。因为所有的必修课几乎都必须在第一、二学期修完,所以你不能为了使学习轻松些而推迟学习任何难度大的课程。因此,就是那些颇具天才;毕业后也做出了显赫成就的学生,在开始的几个星期,也不免要怀疑自己的能力。即使那些最优秀的学生,在第一次期中考试前的紧张也会达到极点。

  对大多数学生来说,过了第一学期就可以松口气,并相信自己剩下的时间也能顺利渡过。一种成就感和乐观精神便取代了开始几个月普遍存在的不安和紧张心理。到了第二学期,多数学生依然埋头学习与研究,但自信心已在他们身上扎下根来。HBS的第二年完全不同于第一年。除了一门必修课外,所有的课由学生自己选修,所以课堂参与的兴趣提高了,班级也更小了。每个班通常只有40—70人了,不像第一年那样。你要和89个同学呆在一起。这样,学生们的参与频率也提高了,同时,在被教授点名时也不那么紧张了。准备案例的时间基本缩短为两个小时以内,但每天合计仍有6个小时的学习。这并不意味着第二年的案例容易些了。实际上,案例通常是更长、更难了。但是在第一年接触过400多个案例后,学生们更善于抓住案例的核心,更善于分析案例中的关键因素了。

  哈佛商学院认为:一个成功的总经理应该是一个全才,至少应具备三种技能,即:技术技能,人事技能和概念技能,这三种技能可以排除特殊品性的必要,也可提供正确看待和处理管理过程的有效方法,这也就是哈佛商学院在第一学年的11门必修课中所学习的。

  另外,哈佛还认为:具有创造力是作为一个出色的总经理的基础,而具有创造力应培养如下特质:

  1.好奇心,这决定创造力的大小。

  2.具有创意和开放的思想。

  3.对问题具较强的敏感性。

  4.在困难面前能够自信,在机遇面前能够大胆。

  5.适度的办事动机和强度,不急功近利更不优柔寡断。

  6.能够在庞杂的事情面前,抓住问题的核心,做出正确的选择。

  7.具有创造性的记忆,使记忆的片段相互联系,具有跳跃的流动性。

  面对企业组织日益复杂的今天,管理工作成了一件十分复杂的事,要想成为一个好经理,必须每件事都要做的圆满,需要高素质的总经理,他必须是:一个好的策划人;一个组织能手;一个协调人;一个管制人;一个分析人;一个推动人;一个设计人;一个意见沟通人;在许多情况下也必须是个老师;一个好学不倦的人;必须是一个决策人。总经理是一个天才,是一个全才。

  哈佛认为,总经理是企业的总指挥,他的能力与否,直接影响着企业的生存与发展。实际上,一个总经理就像一个乐队的指挥一样,当每一种乐器各自为政地演奏时很吵闹,但通过指挥者的努力,洞察及领导就能将其配合成为有生命的乐章。但是,指挥的人手中是有作曲家所做的乐谱,指挥者仅是解释乐谱的人而已。总经理则不然,他既是作曲家,又是指挥者。这一特殊的身份就要求总经理在企业的经营管理活动中明确自己所扮演的角色。

  上述这些非专业性的素质培养,则都属于“总经理学”这门第二学年唯一的一门必修课的范围,“总经理学主要讲授一个成功的总经理应该具备的品质、应该扮演的角色,以及如何培养这些品质,怎样在不同情况下扮演不同的角色。可以说,“总经理学”是对MBA其余课程的总结与升华,它促使学生由量变到质变,同时,也是从象牙塔走向商界的桥梁。
