Job prospects · IIPM continues false claims · 'No thanks' to ethics?
No. 46 | Mar 2nd 2010
"No thanks" to ethics?

There's hardly any other topic that's been stressed in recent times as much as the ethics of managers. Some schools want to tackle the danger of irresponsible and greedy managers with an oath, while others have introduced special ethics courses.

But these measures aren't well-received by potential students. They place more value on strategy, Human Resources management and international business, and expect that the topic of ethics is integrated in all subjects. This at least was the result of a survey of over 700 potential MBA students.

But the business schools should themselves be a role model when it comes to ethics and should also show responsibility in choosing their cooperation partners.  The Indian Business School IIPM proves that this isn't always the case. It happily adorns itself with partnerships with renowned MBA schools in order to fortify its alleged reputation as an Indian top school.

Although the cooperating schools know how questionable the IIPM is, they are holding to the partnerships and therewith knowingly accept that potential MBA students will get drawn into the controversial school thanks to their support. This has little to do with responsibility and ethical behavior.

We've gathered more about the current developments in the MBA world for you here.

Enjoy reading!
