While the economic crisis of 2008 and beyond will motivate further revamping of the business school education as suggested in the New York Times article entitled, “Is It Time to Retrain B-Schools?,” the revolution in business school education toward social responsibility, corporate governance, ethics and leadership and responsible business has been underfoot for years—and driven by students’ demand. Unfortunately, the article presented MBA students as simply bystanders to the academic process of business school. Fortunately, that isn’t accurate: MBA students are leading the revolution from the inside out.Student organizations are leading the way—driving curriculum changes to emphasize corporate responsibility, devising an academic concentration for MBA students in the field of Leadership and Ethics, organizing student panels on ethics across cultures, hosting business and community leaders to discuss ethics and leadership, drafting an official code of conduct for all business school alumni, and managing a week dedicated to Leadership and Ethics, bringing speakers ranging from politicians to the head of Global Talent Management at Deutsche Bank. And this is only one student organization at Columbia Business School—the Sanford C. Bernstein Student Leadership and Ethics Board. Even if there is only one student organization like this on every business school campus, imagine the impact and revolution underfoot.The Student Board supported by the Sanford C. Bernstein & Co. Center for Leadership and Ethics believes that leadership is everyone’s business and that ethics must be infused in all aspects of the curriculum. Ethics and leadership are not stand-alone concepts; they impact and influence all aspects of business.A revolution is underfoot on business school campuses toward greater emphasis, education and understanding of ethics, leadership, corporate governance and corporate social responsibility not because the MBA education failed society, but rather because students demand it.
