In an interview in 2013, Elon Musk said that he hires people not because of their MBA, but because of their presence: “MBA courses are taught not at all. They do not teach people to think. Moreover, the more prestigious the courses, the worse. Because people are taught there to think that they are special, after which they become unable to perceive feedback and impartially analyze their own mistakes. ” Dissatisfaction with business schools has grown since the 2008 crisis, when graduates of MBA schools were accused of undermining the economy.

RZZTT CEO Ivan Kochetkov created the online course Badass AntiMBA School, where the emphasis is not on theory, but on simple things that are often forgotten in everyday life. The course is attended by 20,000 subscribers, and its price is only 490 rubles per month.
The general director of the Synergy business school, Grigory Avetov, is about to launch his anti-MBA program: in his opinion, entrepreneurs need specific knowledge, not academic disciplines, and special knowledge is needed on the Russian market - Anglo-Saxon textbooks will not help in this country. Avetov’s annual program will cost 600,000 rubles.
Dmitry Repin, CEO of Digital October, created a laboratory of new professions with two short programs for training in the processing of big data in computer networks and the Producer of Online Courses.

In 2009, the number of MBA students in Russia halved.

The golden age of business education came in 1950–2000, when an MBA was considered almost a must for a good career. But now it's in the past.

And if you come to an investment bank, they will tell you that it is completely optional to get an MBA in order to become a managing director. Nitin Noria, Dean of Harvard Business School.
