Description

The Culture of Business and the Business of Culture This ethnography examines the culture of contemporary business education and its role in shaping global capitalism. Based on extensive field research, Andrew Orta reveals how MBA programs cultivate both technical competence and "softer" qualities essential for managing international cultural differences. Orta explores the rituals of MBA life and the ways curricula balance fast-paced technical skills with talents thought to be necessary for unlocking the value of cultural difference while mitigating its risks. A critical analysis of neoliberal thinking, this book provides valuable insights for students and professionals in various fields.
