Abstract

A number of studies have recently questioned the value and meaning of MBA programs and how effectively Business Schools provide management education and shape future business leaders. While these studies share a critical view about the current status of MBA education and the conviction that it should be reformed, there is less convergence about how to do it. This chapter presents the findings of a project that conducted a systematic longitudinal analysis explicitly aimed to evaluate the impact of an Italian MBA program on competency development of five students’ cohorts, and to identify which competencies were related to rapid and successful careers. It develops the application of competency-based methodologies to MBA education applying competency-based techniques throughout all the phases of the educational process to include post-MBA career analysis.
