American business schools—some perspectives

UNTIL this year my only distinction compared with other professors of management studies (or indeed heads of business schools) in this country, was that I had never been to the USA. When I did go in the Spring of 1968, I was able to compare the problems of British management education from a few years' experience, with the much longer established patterns in America. In these comments I hope to highlight and contrast some of the differences with the British system.
