Housewives busy shopping at a shopping mall in Boston are interrupted by students from the Harvard University through the following inquiry: “what is the kind of soap you use in your daily life?” It turns out that these students are helping a Brazil soap factory to promote their merchandises. In the past, referred to as the ‘case study,’ the Harvard Business School’s students discussed an enterprise with the professors in the class. At the present, however, the Harvard Business School asks its students to practically be involved in the business battlefield; they can even be sent to the developing countries to directly organize a new company. This is the new form of education devised by the Harvard Business School: Learning by doing. If this new method works, it will be the pioneering new model for the education in business management worldwide.
