12.Young mums shaping in the Copley Mall in downtown Boston-month found themselves being questioned about their use of soap by students from Harvard Business School usually known as HBS.The students not doing minor jobs to earn beer money.They were preparing to help a firm in Brazil launch an antibacterial cleanser The 900 students arriving in Boston this summer for their two-year course were told that they would be sheets.They used to sit in a classroom and discuss case studies written by professors.Now they may also work in a developing country and launch a star-up film.
The new practical addition to HBS's curriculum is known as"FIELD"that stands for Field Immersion Experiences for Leadership Development.Fieldwork---ie,going out and talking to people---is a big change for HBS.
Not all the staff and students were overjoyed to be experimented on.But the man responsible,Nitin Nohria,head of HBS,says that"If it works,the FIELD method could become an equal partner to the case method."
What happens in the second year of the new course is still being worked out.But the first year has three elements.
First,team-building exercises.Students take turns to lead a group engaged in a project.They learn to collaborate (合作) and to give and take feedback.
Second,students will be sent to work for a week with one of more than 140 firms in 11 countries.Tins sort of structured learning-by-doing is a world away from HBS'S traditional encouragement of students to"go on an adventure"outside of classes.
In the third part of the course,students will be given eight weeks,and seed money of$3,000 each,to launch a small company.The most successful,as voted by their fellow students,will get more funding.The experiment does not come cheap,adding 5-10% to the course s cost,which HBS will bear while it figures out what works.
