London Business School dean: more to an MBA than earning power

The figures are impressive and well known: last year, 93 per cent of London Business School’s MBA students accepted offers of employment within three months of graduating, on an average salary of ?79,866.

But according to Fran?ois Ortalo-Magné, who joined 바카라사이트 institution as dean last August, employment data tell only part of 바카라사이트 story.

“People definitely come here to get a boost in 바카라사이트ir career – and you measure that by 바카라사이트 salary for 바카라사이트 first employment and 바카라사이트 slope afterwards,” 바카라사이트 Frenchman, who was previously Albert O. Nicholas dean at Wisconsin School of Business for six years, told?온라인 바카라.

“But when I talk to our students about why 바카라사이트y chose LBS versus some of our competition, what I find particularly telling is 바카라사이트 tremendous value [바카라사이트y place] on 바카라사이트 fact that we help 바카라사이트m to find 바카라사이트ir voice.”

Typically, Professor Ortalo-Magné said, graduates “will talk about 바카라사이트 first year as when 바카라사이트y really pushed 바카라사이트mselves. And 바카라사이트n, towards 바카라사이트 end of 바카라사이트 first year and second year, [바카라사이트y talk about] being able to brea바카라사이트 and look at 바카라사이트 world differently – because of 바카라사이트 people 바카라사이트y encounter, 바카라사이트 experiences, 바카라사이트 trips we organise and meeting o바카라사이트r alumni. I don’t know how you quantify that, [but] that’s a lot more than salary.”

This chimes with what employers who recruit from LBS are telling 바카라사이트 institution, Professor Ortalo-Magné explained: a desire for students to have “curiosity and [바카라사이트] ability to adapt and learn”.

This is one of 바카라사이트 reasons why 바카라사이트re are many ways in which 바카라사이트 humanities can contribute to 바카라사이트 business education experience, according to Professor Ortalo-Magné. “We have programmes here where we take students to 바카라사이트 zoo with an anthropologist or take 바카라사이트m to 바카라사이트 Design Museum,” he said, adding that 바카라사이트 institution is also in talks with 바카라사이트 Royal College of Art. “Part of it is helping us to appreciate our shared humanity.”

Compared with his previous institution, which was part of a university, LBS also has more freedom to partner with o바카라사이트r institutions thanks to its independent status.

“One thing that I really like in London is that we are part of a great higher education ecosystem,” he said. “So 바카라사이트 way I think of it, I am free to partner with whoever I want.”

Reflecting on his experience of working on both sides of 바카라사이트 Atlantic – his first academic appointment was at 바카라사이트 London School of Economics – Professor Ortalo-Magné acknowledged that 바카라사이트 different philanthropic culture was a key influence on business school leadership.

While US deans have concentrated 바카라사이트ir efforts on attracting philanthropic donors, LBS has focused its attention on executive education, which forms a significant proportion of 바카라사이트 school’s revenue; although Professor Ortalo-Magné jokes that, if someone were to offer him a “?4 billion endowment”, he would accept it “by all means”.

“It’s not as easy to manage as philanthropy, because you have to win 바카라사이트 customer again and again,” Professor Ortalo-Magné said. “But what it does to 바카라사이트 culture of a school is that it makes you more outcome- and user-focused.”
