Anthony Mitchell, a successful entrepreneur from Seattle, has sent a link after receiving ‘AIL Daily wisdom newsletter’. The link, originally from New York Times reflects, about how US universities, are expanding abroad.

Is the education model, successful for one country, has to be necessarily successful in other country also?

While taking Management classes in different institute of India, I see a blind following of US case studies and authors. Lot of the people, who comes out from these classes, is never going to work in US environment. However the problem here is different, we do not have good cases and books on Indian management scenarios, again leaving the exceptions.

Therefore, on the context of management education, there is no question that US education model and content will be a great help. However, Will that be same in other academic disciplines too?
