Keller Graduate School of Management
5
After reading some of these reviews, I decided to hire a couple of Keller MBA grads as an experiment. I wasn't having any luck hiring MBAs from State schools; the quality of most of the graduates from the various State schools were marginal at best. Granted they knew a lot about business theory, but most were clueless as to how to function in the REAL business world. The Keller MBA grads turned out to be a very pleasant surprise. For the most part, the Keller MBA grads were very prepared for our practical business environment. With many of the State school MBA grads, I had to expend an excessive amount of my valuable (~$100/hr) time teaching them basic business concepts which they should have been taught at their State school. Since my experiment worked out well, I decided to continue to hire Keller MBA grads. The quality of employee has so far been consistently and significantly better than the State-school prepared business employee. I plan to continue this experiment with the hypothesis that "State schools are no longer adequately preparing their graduates for practical business environments". Early data has so far supported this hypothesis, but we plan to perform more extensive study using accepted statistical methodology and blinding.
