In the prevailing economy, attracting, retaining and nurturing top order talent as a future investment has become imperative for companies across the globe. For many years, business schools, and more so those producing MBAs, had remained as one of the greatest sources of top managerial and professional talent. Is it still the case, is therefore an interesting question.

Do Business schools still produce graduates who are able to meet the needs of the 21st century economy? At Chicago Booth, we believe that the answer is a resounding "yes". Business schools across the globe continually adapt as per the needs of the marketplace. They revise their educational models on a regular basis,programmes, and curricula to provide employers with the skills relevant for success. It is only apt that business schools do not anticipate graduate CEO-ready students. After all, most of the graduates are in their late 20's, and, it is only sane to expect them to learn a lot more while on the job. That said, schools like Chicago Booth provide graduates with an outstanding foundation to enable them to start a career.

Preparing leaders of tomorrow

So, how do top business schools prepare the business leaders of tomorrow? At Chicago Booth, graduates are familiarised with several critical aspects and approaches to serve them well irrespective of the field or industry pursued by them.
