Abstract

In Rethinking Undergraduate Business Education: Liberal Learning for the Profession (Colby et al., 2011), researchers at the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching point out that business is now the largest undergraduate major in the United States. This fact, they maintain, suggests that what happens in undergraduate business programs is of more than parochial interest. Because business has become such a powerful force in the contemporary world, how students are prepared for it is, or should be, of concern to all of us. If, as Colby et al. maintain, undergraduate business programs are delivered in a way that does not lead students to ask how market-based thinking relates to other important social perspectives and cultural values, we run the risk of entrusting a powerful social sector to individuals not qualified to run it wisely.
