The Right Kind Of Talent - Pdf Download

Hello Professional HR & Business Veterans,
Please find attached a very alarming whistle blowing & watchdog entrepreneurial lesson in ET on B-School Employability Gaps. i.e. The Right Kind Of Talent.

Dr. Henry Mintzberg, has been saying the same thing for many years - that the world needs Managers and not MBAs.
Here's an excerpt from his book, from http://www.bkconnection.com/static/M...As-EXCERPT.pdf :

I fully agree with Gautam on this. The above book clearly shows how we are following a outdated model for selecting students for MBA programs, which in turn, in most cases, leads to a situation of a total mismatch between what the MBA wants and what the industry needs. It is an eye opener !!
With my long experience in both industry and academics, when I read that book, I felt as if it was I myself writing those words, though I could never write so beautifully.
A must read for all, whole claim to be involved with management education in India.
