A degree of competition
Article Abstract:
A master's degree in business administration (MBA) remains the key to many executive suites, though proliferating programs and an arguable lowering of standards could change that. Most in the business shrug off critical comments from John H McArthur, who recently retired after 15 years as head of Harvard Business School. Programs in India and elsewhere outside the US and Europe are soaring to meet surging demand. Few have all the qualified professors they need, and sorting through schools outside the US is hard.

Training by degrees
Article Abstract:
Non-degree executive training programs have become crucial money-makers to business schools worldwide as companies try to upgrade executives' skills without losing their services. Many schools in the US have also revamped their MBA programs following a sharp critique by a review panel in 1991. The Manila-based Asian Institute of Management pioneered both MBA degrees and four- to eight-week executive training courses in Asia, and some of its graduates are regional business leaders.
