经济的快速发展和一体化进程，使得企业的生存环境也快速地变化着，被经济、制度、文化、技术、市场等因素交织着的企业环境也越来越复杂和异变，这对企业的管理层提出了更高的要求，于是改变MBA教学理念，优化教学模式，构建科学的、人性化的课程体系，就成为迫在眉睫的事情。
本文采用纵向探究、横向对比的方法来分析MBA的课程设置。纵向上探究了欧美和中国MBA发展的历程，横向上将欧美和中国MBA在课程设置的内容、结构、特点、评价体系等方面进行了剖析和对比，从而提出了对中国MBA课程设置改革的建议：一是优化课程结构，合理分配必修课和选修课的比例；二是整合课程内容，软课程和实践课程的增加将有助于提高学员的能力；三是完善评估体系，完善的评估系统将引导课程的改革；四是改进课程内容的讲授方式，灵活务实的授课方式将更能激发学员的兴趣和创造性；五是增强学校与企业间的合作，这种双赢的合作方式应该着力推进；六是增强塑造MBA精神和创业精神。
本文分为五章，第一章阐释了概念和影响MBA的因素；第二章回顾了MBA的发展历史；第三章详细叙述和列举了美国和欧洲MBA的课程设置特点、内容和优势；第四章则介绍了中国MBA课程设置的特点、发展进程、详细内容，并根据第三章的内容进行中外MBA课程的比较，从文化背景、内容、评价体系到具体的名校，如实详尽的比较后我们将发现中外MBA在课程设置上的差距；第五章则根据现状和差距提出课程设置改革的建议。
现代社会高速发展，人们享受着高科技带来便利的同时也在严重地透支着未来，自2008年爆发全球金融危机以来，随着知名企业不断爆出财务危机和破产倒闭，催生了我们对企业管理的重新审视。于是无论中外，对MBA设置什么课程和学习过程以及怎样学习进行动态的变革与管理，将是现在乃至于21世纪从事MBA教育的学校所面临的重要挑战之一。
