Of course, Hoffman isn't the first academic to question the value of higher learning. Here in the U.S., debates over the merits of M.B.A.' As Cliff Oxford, a three-time Inc. 500 CEO and former IT manager at UPS, put it, the usefulness of an M.B.A. peaked in the '90s, when entrepreneurs had three years to stay ahead of the competition.
