MBAs ‘too masculine’

MBA courses are too masculine, with a focus on skills and attributes which may be out of touch with the demands of the modern workplace, Brunel University has warned. The university’s business school said the MBA must be feminised by incorporating softer skills and promoting an awareness of the masculine values embedded in management practices and processes. Brunel University argues that ‘harder’ analytical skills are prioritised to the detriment of ‘softer’ skills related to personal and interpersonal development.

Tackling Skills kicks off

Sports minister Richard Caborn will tomorrow officially launch the ‘Tackling Skills’ programme, which aims to help young people develop their literacy and communication skills by using sport to inspire, motivate and re-engage them. A partnership between BBC Sport, the Football Foundation and the Foyer Foundation community development organisation, the programme will give participants training in the basic skills needed to become a working journalist.
