The people to lead us out of the financial crisis will be MBAs, and we need to be training more of them, not casting them as villains, according to Kenneth R. Lord, PhD, associate dean of the Kania School of Management at the University of Scranton.
Writing in BusinessWeek, Lord, who teaches an online MBA course called Responsibility, Sustainability, and Justice, writes that MBA programs offer training and courses in ethics and corporate social responsibility that shape the potential MBA graduate into the kind of leader the country needs for the future.
In the article, he challenges those who think MBA schools aren't teaching the right values to their students.
"If anyone believes ethics is getting short shrift in business school, all they need to do is spend a little time reading over my shoulder," he writes. "Students in my class are struggling with the complex ethical dilemmas posed by the current crisis every day."
Lord argues these ethical MBA students are needed to provide the stability and hope for a future recovery going into the future. If you are interested in helping fix the financial crisis and rebuild the economy on a sound ethical and financial basis, this may be the time to look into getting an MBA degree.
