Dear Colleagues:
I wish to invite you to listen to a fascinating talk about the
evolution of business schools and management education in the U.S.
Professor Rakesh Khurana of the Harvard Business School will talk
about the decline of the commitment to educate a "general manager" -
one with attention to and a moral commitment to many stakeholders -
to a present day approach that is dominated by a technical and
finance/economics based curriculum focused on shareholders and
shareholder wealth. This transformation has relegated ethics as a
course and the attention to any moral or professional obligations of
managers to the back shelf of most business schools.
The talk will be based upon his excellent 2007 book, From Higher Aims
to Hired Hands: The Social Transformation of American Business
Schools and the Unfulfilled Promise of Management as a Profession.
(Princeton U. Press).
The talk will be on Saturday night, August 9, 6 p.m. - 7:15, with a
reception to follow until 9 p.m.
Venue: Doubletree Guest Suites Anaheim Resort/Convention Center
2085 S. Harbor Blvd. (cross street is W. Orangewood Ave)
Hotel telephone 714 750-3000
I hope you will join Professor Khurana for this event.
Cordially,
Doug Schuler, Organizer
