A Bolder Vision for Business Schools
By: P. Tufano
Abstract
Business schools teach to a model that dates back to the 1950s. Given the growing demands on business to take a lead in confronting societal challenges, business schools need to update how they train business leaders and how they compete, argues Oxford’s Saïd School Dean Peter Tufano. Specifically, they need to broaden the curriculum to offer a better grounding in philosophy and ethics to reinforce an understanding of business’s role in society and in the science behind climate change and the operation of complex systems in order to ensure that business is sustainable. In addition, business schools must embody and celebrate diversity, which means re-evaluating the narrow financial measures by which success is rated.
