EMBA薪酬大幅上升

What the rankings show: Salaries rise dramatically
Ursula Milton

A reader passing even the most cursory of glances over the Financial Times EMBA 2006 ranking would be struck by one fact: the year-on-year rise in average salaries reported by EMBA graduates has been dramatic.

Although this year’s respondents, who completed their EMBAs in 2003, report that they are working in comparable sectors to the graduates surveyed last year, and are working in companies of similar size to those who completed their degree in 2002, they are earning considerably more than graduates in the previous three surveys.

In the 2005 survey, there were only four programmes where alumni were earning more than $200,000. This year there are 11 of them. As might be expected, eight of the top 10 programmes feature in the roll-call of very well paid alumni. The two top 10 European programmes, those offered by Instituto de Empresa and London Business School, do not.

Moreover, all the salary data collected for the EMBA 2006 survey point to the same conclusion. EMBA alumni working in Europe are unable to command the pay that their North American and Asian counterparts can. Conversely, it should be noted that alumni working in Europe experienced, on average, a larger salary percentage increase than those who work elsewhere.

For those working in North America, the salary percentage increase between before the EMBA and today, typically a period of five years, was 55 per cent, compared with 64 per cent for those working in Asia and 66 per cent for those working in Europe.

The ranking also shows that wherever they work, alumni of programmes in Europe experience greater increases in salaries. Instituto de Empresa is the runaway winner in this category, with a percentage increase of 138 per cent. Eight of the top 10 programmes for salary increase are wholly or partially based in Europe.

Last year, the Financial Times EMBA report presented analysis of trends in the data according to the age of the respondent. This year, data was analysed according to the continent that alumni are currently work in, or from which they hail.

This continental breakdown shows that, although average salaries for all sectors are considerably higher in Asia than in Europe and North America, for respondents from Asia, networking was a markedly more important outcome than increased earnings and was second only to management development. This bucks the trend seen in other continents and the sample as a whole.

Another notable feature of the 2006 ranking is the degree of stability seen at the top of the ranking. Among the 15 best programmes, three have not been ranked before (the Columbia/LBS, Trium and Washington EMBAs). None of the remaining 12 has moved more than four places since last year.

There has, however, been more movement in the ranking positions of some of the programmes further down the table.

In some cases this is because schools have improved their scores across the board, Cranfield School of Management is a case in point. For other schools, such as the Cox School of Business at Southern Methodist University, a big improvement in salary percentage increase, from 39 per cent in 2005 to 62 per cent this year was an important factor.

Schools that have experienced a large drop in their overall ranking have generally seen falls in their positions across all categories and not only in the more heavily weighted criteria such as salaries and research.

The schools that run the 85 ranked programmes are based in 18 different countries. Fifty of the schools are primarily based in North America, 29 in Europe and one each in South America and Australia.
EMBA薪酬大幅上升

只
要读一下2006年《金融时报》EMBA排行榜，即便是匆匆一瞥，也会惊讶地发现，EMBA（高级管理人员工商管理硕士）毕业生所报告的平均薪水以惊人的增速一年高于一年！

今年的调查对象是2003年的毕业生，尽管他们的答卷显示他们和2002毕业生在就职公司的规模以及行业方面相类似，收入却远高于过去三年调查中毕业生的收入。

根据2005年的问卷，仅四家EMBA课程毕业生的薪金收入超过20万美元；而今年却有多达11家EMBA的毕业生年收入超过20万美元。不出所料，排名前十名的EMBA中有八家跻身毕业生高薪课程之列；只有西班牙企业学院（Instituto de Empresa）和伦敦商学院未在毕业生高薪课程之列。


而且，2006年EMBA调查中收集到的所有薪资数据都指向同一个结论：在欧洲工作的EMBA毕业生的薪酬没有在北美洲和亚洲工作的EMBA毕业生高；相反，也应该注意到，在欧洲工作的EMBA毕业生的平均薪金涨幅要高于在北美洲和亚洲工作的EMBA毕业生。

在北美工作的EMBA毕业生的薪酬涨幅――从入读EMBA之前到今天（通常是5年时间）――为55%，而在欧洲和亚洲工作的EMBA毕业生的薪酬涨幅分别为66％和64％。

2006EMBA排行榜还显示，欧洲EMBA课程毕业生不论在哪里工作其薪酬增长幅度都是最大的。西班牙企业学院EMBA毕业生的年薪增长幅度最大，增幅高达138％。薪资增幅排名前十的EMBA课程中，有8个课程的授课是全部或部分在欧洲进行的。

去年，《金融时报》EMBA报告是根据被访者的年龄划分进行分析的。而今年，是依据毕业生所工作的大陆或生源地对数据进行分类和分析的。

这种根据大洲分类进行的分析显示，尽管亚洲所有行业的EMBA毕业生薪酬都远高于欧洲和北美，但是对于亚洲的EMBA毕业生而言，社交网络是远比收入增长更重要的一个收获，其重要性仅次于管理能力的提高。在其它各洲以及整体样本上都有同样的趋势。

2006年EMBA排行榜另外一个值得注意的特点是排名名次的稳定性。前15强EMBA课程中，有3家以前从未上过榜，它们分别是哥伦比亚大学和伦敦商学院的合作项目，Trium（纽约大学斯特恩商学院、巴黎HEC管理学院以及伦敦经济与政治学院联合创办的全球合作项目），和华盛顿大学EMBA项目，其余12家自去年来的位次变化都不超过4位。

然而，15名之后的EMBA课程在位次变化上较大。有些是因为学校在各个方面都明显提高了得分，克兰菲尔德管理学院就是一例。有些是因为毕业生薪酬上出现大幅度上升，例如南方卫理公会大学科克斯商学院（Cox school of business at Southern Methodist University）的毕业生薪酬增幅从去年的39％跃升到62％，这导致其排名大幅上升。

那些综合排名大幅下降的课程多是在各个指标上的分数都出现下降，而不仅仅是在那些权重较大的指标――如薪酬和研究上出现下降。

这次排名的85个EMBA课程，由分布在18个国家的商学院所开设。其中50所商学院主要在北美运作，29所在欧洲，南美洲和澳洲各一所。

商学院领导力教学遭抨击
Scourge of business schools slams 'leadership teaching'

Professor Henry Mintzberg, scourge of the business school world, has launched his latest attack on his own profession of management scholars by denouncing the teaching of leadership, the latest business school trend.

In today's Financial Times, Prof Mintzberg writes: "We have this obsession with 'leadership'. Its intention may be to empower people, but its effect is often to disempower them." By focusing on the single person, he writes, "leadership becomes part of the syndrome of individuality" that is "undermining organisations".

Leadership became the hot topic in management education in 2001, following the terrorist attacks in the US. Almost every business school now has a leadership module on its MBA programme, as well as numerous short executive courses dedicated to the subject.

Prof Mintzberg's views on management education have long been controversial in business school circles, but have often proved prescient. He has spent the past decade railing against the traditional teaching conducted on North American MBA programmes.

Only recently, however, have other leading academics, notably Jeffrey Pfeffer at Stanford University and the late Sumantra Ghoshal from London Business School, also questioned whether an MBA teaches people the right things.

Prof Mintzberg argues that the conventional MBA classroom overemphasises the science of management at the expense of its practice, and that most MBAs are too young to appreciate what they are being taught.

In his latest article Prof Mintzberg, a strategy professor at McGill University in his native Montreal, decries "managers who sit on 'top', pronouncing their great visions, grand strategies and abstract performance standards".

Good management and leadership, he argues, cannot be separated. "Does anyone want to work for a manager who lacks the qualities of leadership? . . . Well, how about a leader that doesn't practise management?"

In a counterpart article, Frank Brown, dean of Insead, the business school based in France and Singapore, argues that training people to be leaders must be one of the main pursuits of a business school.

"Simply said, the last thing the business world needs is more managers. On the contrary, it's in need of more leaders," he writes.

*London has increased its lead as the leading city for executive MBA degrees, according to the latest FT rankings published today. Four out of the top seven programmes are taught wholly or partly in London.

These include two programmes taught by London Business School, one EMBA run by the University of Chicago in London and the Trium EMBA run jointly by the London School of Economics and Political Science, the Stern school at New York University and HEC Paris.
商学院领导力教学遭抨击


作为商学院世界的一个叛逆者，著名管理学家亨利?明兹柏格(Henry Mintzberg)教授将最新的矛头对准了自己的职业，公开批评商学院的一个最新趋势――领导力教学。

明兹柏格教授指出：“我们迷恋‘领导能力’。我们的目的也许是要赋予人们这种能力，但结果常常是使他们丧失这种能力。由于只关注单个人……领导能力就成了一种个人主义……这对组织有破坏作用。”

2001年美国遭受恐怖袭击之后，领导能力成为管理教育中的热门话题。如今，几乎每家商学院都在MBA课程中开设领导能力单元，还有大量专注于这一主题的短期高管课程。


长期以来，明兹柏格教授对管理教育的看法在商学院圈子里倍受争议，不过事实证明，他的观点常常是富有预见性的。过去10年，他一直在厉声反对北美MBA课程采取的传统教学方式。然而，只是到了近年，以斯坦福大学(Stanford University)教授杰弗里?普费弗(Jeffrey Pfeffer)和伦敦商学院(LBS)已故教授苏曼德拉?戈沙尔(Sumantra Ghoshal)为首的另一些知名学者也提出质疑，怀疑MBA是否在传授正确的知识。

明兹柏格教授提出，传统的MBA课堂过于强调管理科学，忽略了实践，而多数MBA学员太年轻，不能充分领会教学内容。

明兹柏格教授认为，对那些“高高在上、高谈阔论、满嘴宏伟战略和抽象业绩标准的经理人”提出了批评。他指出，好的管理和领导能力是不能割裂的。“有人愿意为一个缺乏领导素质的经理人，或是一个不会进行管理的领导者工作吗？”明兹柏格目前在家乡蒙特利尔的麦基尔大学(McGill University)教授战略学。

欧洲工商管理学院(Insead)院长弗兰克?布朗(Frank Brown)在一篇意见相反的文章中提出，培养领导者必须成为商学院的主要任务之一。他写道：“简单地说，商业领域不需要更多经理人。相反，这个领域需要更多的领导者。”

英国《金融时报》今天发表的EMBA最新排名显示，伦敦进一步巩固了作为EMBA学位最热门城市的地位。在排名前7位的课程中，有4个课程全部或部分在伦敦授课，包括伦敦商学院开设的两项课程，芝加哥大学(University of Chicago)在伦敦开设的一项EMBA课程，以及由伦敦政治经济学院(LSE)、纽约大学(NYU)斯特恩商学院(Stern school)和巴黎高级商业研究学院(HEC Paris)共同开设的Trium EMBA课程。
