The Chronicle published a puff piece about new Haas Dean Tom Campbell. He's going to concentrate on Ethics, apparently. 'Because in this post-Enron world, we need Ethics in Business more then ever!' Plus a little talk about the use of a Business degree.
If Campbell really said As for why one would go into business, the answer, Campbell said, is "to make money for yourself, in part. To create wealth that can be shared. . . . That's the ideal."then I'm a little worried. I mean 'To make money for yourself.. and.. err... for others' is a really unimaginative explanation of why people go into Business. How about to learn the skills for starting a non-profit? Or for organizing any large-scale institution? The challenge? Self-management? Or the thousands of motives for 'going to make money'? These motives go to the heart of how Business students see ethics. If Campbell has them lumped in a general 'money-grubber' category we're screwed. Doubtful that's what he meant. Campbell is, after all, well qualified for this position and apparently very in tune with Silicon Valley. Still, weird answer.Email This Post! |
