President wanted, MBA not required
GEORGE W. BUSH is the first president with an MBA (from Harvard Business School, no less), but its not clear that being a master of business administration has made him a better chief executive. The disarray in Iraq, the debacle after Hurricane Katrina — these arent exactly the kinds of triumphs that the alumni office likes to boast about.
Business schools are a relatively new institution. The MBA was invented in the Progressive era as a way to abort future generations of robber barons. The idea was to train a class of business administrators (the ethos was anti-entrepreneurial) who would expiate capitalisms sins by managing their corporations in keeping with higher morality. The higher morality was whatever the spirit of the age revealed to professors and high-toned Protestant ministers. Over decades, the pursuit of ethical uplift waned, and the pursuit of efficiency and new methods of reading a balance sheet waxed, paving the way for the increasingly empty trendiness of modern management books.
Its hard to say what President Bush absorbed from his management studies. We can only draw inferences, though eventually historians may know more. Defending Donald H. Rumsfeld a few weeks ago, Bush said: I hear the voices, and I read the front page, and I know the speculation. But Im the decider, and I decide what is best. And whats best is for Don Rumsfeld to remain as the secretary of Defense.
