What is expected from MBAs today?

Today, most top business schools – Harvard, Wharton, Stanford, Yale...- have ovehauled the core curriculum of their MBA programs. The focus is on the cognitive, the social and the cultural factors. The keyword is teamwork. Students are still trained to become competent financial managers but at the same time they’re taught soft skills such as interpersonal, organizational, self-motivation skills.
Today, because of globalization, MBAs are expected to be knowlegeable about international business laws and trade, cultures and economies. Top business schools have included international exposure or experience in their curriculum. That can include internships in China, India, United Kingdom.
