News, ideas, research in social entrepreneurship and philanthropy, from the Marshall Institute
News
Do business schools have a responsibility to recognise the societal consequences of corporate actions? This month we highlight an Economist article which argues American business schools are reinventing the MBA. Business schools are introducing new, compulsory courses such as Capitalism and Common Purpose in a World of Differences, at Duke's Fuqua School of Business. The changes are in response to growing student demand for MBA programmes that reflect purpose and values in business.
We hope you enjoy reading this newsletter. Season's greetings from all of us at the Marshall Institute.
