Abstract
BATIZ LAZO, Bernardo. The Adoption of US-Style Business Education in MExico, 1945-2005. Am. Lat. Hist. Econ [online]. 2013, vol.20, n.1, pp.158-198. ISSN 2007-3496.
This article maps the idiosyncratic features in the development of graduate and postgraduate management education in Mexico City. The emergence of these degrees is partly in response to the globalization of higher education but also to the transformation of Mexican business organisations into a more hierarchical structure. The evolution of the institutional setting thus offers an indirect study of the appearance of professional managers in a region otherwise dominated by family run firms. As a result, this article contributes to contemporary Mexican business history by linking the forms of interaction between multinationals, indigenous businesses and management education.
