Jack from North Carolina says: Great show! But the thing that bothers me about all these so called smart and intelligent students and professors at HBS. They didn't even know how to stop the Endowment from losing $8 Billion! What makes us think they can handle anything in the real world?
Sandra from Texas says: What a GREAT show. It was so informative and insightful. Well worth running every month. It's incentive for youngsters and motivation for elders! Thanks.
Trayton from Texas says: How often do I use what I learned at HBS? The quick answer is "every day". As a 1952 graduate, that covers a lot of ground, and there hasn't been a day that I regretted my decision to go to the Harvard Business School.
The question "Why did they pick me?" still stays in my mind these many years later, but I'm sure glad that they did!
HBS gave me a special way of thinking about business problems and I've been using it ever since.
Anthony from Illinois says: What about Warren Buffet, Henry Kravis, Vickram Pandit, Lewis Frankfort, Mario Gabelli, Robert Stevens and Arthur Samberg? They went to Columbia Business School and are more impressive leaders than the HBS ones.
Amar from California says: I think there are a lot of good MBA programs out there. I just think HBS is marketed very good. Especially with today's market it doesn't really matter you go....
Samuel from Tennessee says: The present global financial crisis has really caused many people to pause and wonder how all Fortune-500 CEOs from HBS and other prestigious business schools failed to see the Credit Default Swaps (CDS) problems brewing in the first place and thereby question the quality of the education received at these prestigious schools.
One of the lessons we should learn from the current Wall Street financial crisis is that senior executive (C-level) positions in all sectors of our economy should be opened to talented individuals from all MBA programs and should not be an exclusive rights of a privileged few from Ivy League schools such as HBS. We should not forget that it is these HBS-trained talented CEOs that led our economy to ruins and whose positions are still been protected by financial market bailout/rescue with enormous salary plus bonuses (such as AIG-talent retention incentives) for failure at taxpayer's expense.
Woodson from New York says: For me, HBS was about more than an MBA degree. The people I met and the experience were just as important. Overall, going to Harvard Business School was one of the most rewarding times of my life.
