The New MBAs

BBC Radio 4, Mon 11.00 am: Nov 15 (part 1, UK) and Nov 22 (part 2, USA)

quotes about business ethicsWhen the global economy crashed spectacularly in 2008 it seemed like all the people in charge had an MBA from a top business school – from President George W Bush, through Treasury Secretary Hank Paulson to the heads of Lehman Brothers, Merril Lynch, General Motors and more.

Some Business School heads conceded they share the blame, none more readily than the Dean of Cass Business School in the City of London -- Richard Gillingwater said that although ethics and values were “embedded” in parts of their courses they needed to deal more explicitly with topics like short versus long-term decision-making, appropriate rewards and corporate responsibility.

So part 1 follows the Cass “Ethics, Sustainability and Engagement” project over 12 months. The listener will sit in on lectures, seminars, debates and discussions that show how MBA courses are delivered, and how ethical issues in particular are now being tackled. And it looks at other UK business schools that were already tackling some of these issues successfully: Nottingham and Manchester as just two examples.

The programmes are presented by Mark Whitaker and produced by Mike Hally
