Abstract
This article reviews attempts to make use of managers' current work within the context of accredited courses. It examines implicit notions about knowledge, experimental methods, group dynamics and the learning company, referring to specific events of post-experience executive MBA courses. Several interpretive heuristics are offered in order to `round out' an appreciation of the social as well as the individual and corporate effects of participation in formal management education programmes.Keywords
