How do employers view business school education?
Employer Salon is specially designed to cooperate with the third "2 1 Century Business School Competitiveness Survey" project. Through the dialogue with employers, this paper aims to understand the evaluation, opinions and suggestions of employers on business school education, the job performance expectation and satisfaction of employees with business school background, the comprehensive ability, professional skills and recruitment considerations of employees with business school background. At the event site, more than a dozen employers' representatives were invited into Hunting.com's Beijing headquarters to participate in high-end dialogue. The main guests are Gai Longjia, human resources director of Neusoft Group Co., Ltd., Yue Shenshan, senior partner of Yuecheng Law Firm, Tian Jie, recruitment manager of An Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd., Yin, partner of ASEAN Fund, and Li Wei, vice president of Hunting.com ... They have long-term cooperation with business schools, or they have studied MBA and EMBA themselves, so they can be said to have a very intuitive understanding and in-depth insight into business school education. The scene of the salon was full of sparks and excitement. Facing 20 13 "the most difficult employment year in history", the employer guests present were relatively calm, and they generally believed that this was the relative employment difficulty caused by the matching of students' expectations and enterprises' expectations. In the eyes of Gai Longjia, the human resources director of Neusoft Group Co., Ltd., 20 13 has just begun to feel the difficulty of employment, and 20 14 is expected to be more difficult than 20 13. In the eyes of employers, the original intention of students to enroll in MBA is generally believed to have two reasons for the original intention of students to enroll in business schools: First, the main reason is that they hope to achieve transformation or cross-industry development by enrolling in MBA; According to Teacher Zhang from the Career Development Center of Renmin University Business School, a survey conducted in Renmin University Business School shows that 60% of the newly recruited students want to change careers with the help of MBA, and 60% of them have successfully changed careers and entered the financial industry. Secondly, job integration, employees need to supplement and improve their management ability systematically, which has become one of the direct motives for students to enroll in business schools. Gai Longjia, the human resources director of Neusoft Group Co., Ltd., recognizes the role of business schools in cultivating students' competitive advantage: the recognition of business school education has improved students' horizons, and students' abilities before and after attending business schools have also been significantly improved, especially in professional skills. But at the same time, the "sense of landing" of business college students also needs to be strengthened. Combining system theory with work practice is the primary challenge faced by most business college students. Employment guidance, business schools and enterprises are duty-bound. Tian Jie, the recruitment manager of Xi 'an Janssen Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd., who has many years of global business school recruitment practice background, vividly shared the comparison of the employment situation of business school students at home and abroad: in domestic business school recruitment, financial enterprises are always in the front, while traditional enterprises are often left out; However, it is very different in America. When more than 20 business schools in the United States recruit, the number of people queuing in front of Johnson & Johnson booth is not less than that of financial enterprises, and sometimes even more. Tian Jie believes that business schools should give students more guidance in career development, choose more suitable occupations according to their own positioning, and avoid blindness in employment. Tian Jie believes that enterprises should also maintain long-term interaction and communication with business schools, establish a good communication mechanism with students, and clarify the development platform and prospects that enterprises can provide, so that MBA students can better plan their career development routes based on their own backgrounds. At the same time, in the use of MBA students, enterprises should combine students' background, work experience and skills and job matching, set up the employment mechanism of corresponding posts, and realize the best use of talents. Under the relatively open salary system design conditions abroad, business school students can easily calculate their salary and position changes before and after attending business school and the corresponding input-output ratio; However, many domestic enterprises are transforming into standardized management. Faced with many MBA students who are "arrogant and arrogant", employers have always shown cautious optimism about whether employees with MBA degrees can definitely enjoy higher salaries. Li Wei, vice president of Hunting Net, said: Education and ability ultimately depend on our own efforts! Business school education at home and abroad is different. Yin, a partner of ASEAN Fund, shared his observation on the education gap between business schools at home and abroad based on his understanding of business schools at home and abroad: in the United States, if you want to be CEO, Harvard is the best choice; If you want to enter the banking system, the University of Pennsylvania and the University of Chicago are the best considerations; If you want to start a business, Stanford provides a very strong entrepreneurial culture; Kellogg Business School of Northwest University is famous for its outstanding performance in marketing ... The top foreign business schools have their own emphasis on providing all-round basic business education. Business school is actually a vocational skills training school, not a research institution, but provides very standardized and professional services for enterprises. But at present, the education of China Business School is more inclined to the financial field, which is of course related to the current situation that China's financial industry is in line with the most advanced international standards.
