✦ Synopsis

This article examines whether Masters of Business Administration (MBA) programs adequately prepare human resource professionals. It also compares managers' and professors' evaluations of the competencies HR managers will need in the twenty-first century. It finds that both managers and professors view interpersonal and problem-solving competencies and integration of HR with bottom line concerns as more important than technical know-how. HR managers, however, are much more critical of what MBA programs are doing than are HR professors. HR professors may be risking complacency about their product.
