...(1) I believe that business schools are trying to respond to the social requirement of educating more ethical and social responsible business leaders. As the author suggests, however, I believe that this might be a long process and its results will be hard to predict. I have heard, for example, of a special interdisciplinary business school curriculum implemented by several institutions (Giving Voice to Values) which focuses on the implementation of ethics in the workplace. These kinds of programs suggest that business schools are trying to move to a different direction, where the main goal of the business leaders is to generate and manage a responsible growth. Generally speaking, I think that there is still a lot to be done and that business schools should focus more on the quality of their graduates as responsible and careful managers and not only as brilliant performers in terms of profits and earnings. (2) I don't believe that business schools alone should be accused. Of course the financial scandals of the recent years which have been orchestrated by MBA graduates have put the business schools in a bad light but this should not take us to the wrong syllogism that all the MBA graduates are irresponsible managers and excellent cheaters . By logic, not all the MBA graduates can be cheaters and lead to economic and social disasters. There is a misconception and generalisation, in my opinion, that lead to think that every student who applies for an MBA wants only to make more...
