大家觉得美国经济危机对国内的著名商学院是不是利好？

美国金融危机，经济不振，对MBA就业产生很大影响，特别是大批想读美国mba转金融的朋友现在几乎是不大可能了。高额学费，投资风险也增大了。 那么许多优秀的人才可能会放弃赴美求学的想学，转投国内著名商学院，还有些外国学生因为本国经济问题，也会寻找来亚洲发展的机会， 是否是国内商学院发展的一个大好机会呢？请各位发表下看法。

全球经济形式吃紧, 就业会日益困难.

我觉的大部分人会选择保住饭碗先, PART-TIME MBA的需求会显著上升.

Good for Bschool, but very bad for local MBAs, the competition will be intensified. Harder to get into great firms like CICC and McKinsey for local MBA.

On the contrary, if domestic MBAs are qualified or even better than overseas MBAs, why not use domestic ones ? Cheaper and better, MBA made in China,  just like goods made in China.

Disaster for foreign MBAs, if so and if CICC and McKinsey are willing to select MBAs in Mainland .....

So, work harder and smarter, CK ,CEIBS,BiMBA and all the Chinese MBA Business Schools.....

Too simple, too naive!

Remember who runs these top consulting firms or IBs, most of them got MBA from HBS, Wharton, etc. also how can these firms pay MBA at almost same price and go out to get besuiness by introduce their consultant to industrial CEO like:"this guy from CEIBS or CKGSB, he is a good engineer or something". I would prefer  "this guy from Harvard, previously worked for Goldman" .

One thing i am wittnessing, local firm like CICC is going outside to recruit in Wharton and HBS for their investment baning, investment management, capital market and private equity division while it do recruit very few local mba as Sales. not to mention that BCG, McKinsey.

Anyway, we will see.

Too Simple, too naive!

"Hey Mr.CEO, this guy is from Harvard, previously worked for Lehman/ML/Bear Sterns"  -- oh, poor lucky guy, another previously Ibanker? I got tons of similar resume already.

" This guy went for Havard" -- aha, because he lost his job?

 "And he joined my super duper consulting firm" -- aha, because he can't find other job.

 "His selling skill is tremendous!" --  Oh man, I know his power pointless presentation skill is super. Do I need it?

" He's a super consultant, can do any model for you" 

--

I'm just kidding, but my point is that I don't think a  would be that happy to hire someone from Lehman/ML/Bear Sterns just because he's smart with super selling skilles. And I don't know would the brand power of "previously an I-bank BA" that powerful after 2008.

it is good to have different idea, but do you have any idea of what ibanker has been doing, and all they do is pointless presentation? selling skills isn't important? so what do you do in industry is more valuable and other people in consulting firm or investment bank is nothing but bullshit?  

it is ok to hold a Roman holiday view on the unlucky ibankers from Lehman etc, anyway, they are very intelligent and graduated from decent university like HBS and good at modeling and presentation far better than those cannot get their foot in(i got interview from Lehman, while i was turned down finally). and they are competitive in the job market. even the big fall of wall street cannot deny that truth.

you can deny that. but don't you have a consulting dream or i banking dream when you getting into you mba? or just you are (un)lucky to be turned down by McKinsey or Goldman. then you can have a little bit hindsight "oh, i don't give a damn for ib or consulting career, look at them, they are almost broke". haha.

Lehman is good at financial advisory especially M&A deal (the high end)and these guy will continue to provide valuable advice in the market, though fixed income and principal trading guys are to blame for the  bankruptcy. remember, Steve Schwartzman of Blackstone wss also ousted from Lehman 2 decades ago, but now he is the king of Wall street. It is not wise to hire a pre-banker from Lehman? I guess you have very little info. about what Investment banking is.

金融危机很可能引发全球性的经济衰退，中国不可能独善其身，这个对MBA显然是负面影响，不管是国内还是国外，找工作会很艰难。
