Making Global MBAs explores the new business possibilities globalism has opened up, and the ways modern MBA programs prepare their students to exploit them.

What does this book cover?  

Making Global MBAs: The Culture of Business and the Business of Culture is Number 47 in the esteemed California Series in Public Anthropology. It has been fully updated to reflect the practices of modern-day MBA programs, especially those which are specifically global in scope. It looks at business education as a culture, and explores how and why that culture exists as it is.

Just a few of the topics this book addresses include:

• The unique takes on international MBAs of five separate US business schools
• The ethnography of MBA training and commercial globalisation
• How international MBA programs include both ‘hard’ technical business skills and ‘soft’ intercultural management and negotiation skills
