The MBA degree has received quite a bit of flack as of late, particularly with MBA holders with big names flunking out of the business world; Rick Wagoner of General Motors, to name an example.
The dimension of MBA critique is vast; some bloggers claim that a school not accreditted by The Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business, or AACSB, should have you “running away screaming,” even though University of Phoenix–a prestigious chain of private colleges–pops up with the non-AACSB college search.
If there is one thing the Internet is known for, however, it’s negative feedback. For discussion board, forum, and blog visitors, this is commonly referred to as “flaming.” As the Internet is swept up with negative opinions, the good news is drowned out. It’s like turning on your local late night news broadcast and rolling the 80% chance there’s coverage on a local death or disaster.
