Lecture Description

Mandelbaum believes that the best, and arguably most valuable, part of business school is the people you meet.  She recommends working before going into business school to provide some experience that can be shared among classmates.  Though the business school material can be learned just about anywhere, the experience, because of the networking possibilities, is invaluable, she adds.
