The MBA Oath(ISBN=9781591843351) rtf 下载 2025 kindle mobi lrf 极速 pdf

"As a manager, my purpose is to serve the greater good

by bringing people and resources together to create value that no

single individual can create alone..."

So begins the MBA Oath, conceived in early 2009 by

Max Anderson, Peter Escher, and a team of Harvard Business School

students. They saw that in the wake of the financial crisis, the

Madoff scandal, and other headlines, MBAs were being vilified.

People were angry because business leaders, many of whom were MBAs,

seemed not to care about anything beyond their own private

interests. Many began to question the worth of business schools and

the MBA degree.

The oath quickly spread beyond Harvard, becoming a worldwide

movement for a new generation of leaders who care about society as

well as the bottom line. Thousands of graduating MBAs have now

pledged to conduct themselves with honesty and integrity, just as

medical students swear by the Hippocratic oath before they can

practice.

This book is the manifesto for the movement. It provides not only a

strong case for why the MBA Oath is necessary but also examples of

how it can be applied in the real world. It will help guide

businesspeople through some of the toughest decisions they'll make

in their careers.

worldwide attention for their mission to establish an official code

of business ethics. Anderson currently serves as chairman of the

MBA Oath organization and lives in New York City with his wife and

From Publishers Weekly

The authors, not long out of Harvard Business School, along with

many other classmates and supporters, are proponents of the hot new

idea of an "MBA oath," similar in some ways to the Hippocratic

Oath, as an inspiration and accountability tool for the jungle-like

business climate. Shadows of Enron and assorted villain-companies,

and the dire financial situation of the current recession drive the

project, which they view even at this early state as a successful

effort to clothe business managers with foundational ethics and

morality. Now a global movement, the eight-point oath involves

promises of responsibility, growth, development, honesty, and

respect for the law. The authors dissect it thoroughly, with

illustrations from a variety of interesting case studies and tests.

As more than 10,000 schools worldwide offer MBA degrees, the

writers caution that a business school ranking is influenced by the

average compensation of a graduate during his first year after

school and that compensation, rather than value, has become the

keystone of an education. They also note that a sixty-four-page

ethics manual proved powerless in the hands of Enron management.

Suggesting that managers operate at a baseline level of doing no

harm, The MBA Oath is a strong call for ethical reform.

From Booklist

In 2009, a team of Harvard Business School students started an

impressive movement: to transform the reputation of business, one

person at a time, through the construction of and self-adherence to

an MBA oath, similar to the physician's Hippocratic oath. Truth is,

it's about time. The recent $50 trillion global loss in financial

assets coupled with a lack of integrity and personal accountability

has created a huge crisis of reputation on Wall Street—and Main

Street.Two of the oath's promulgators, Max Anderson and Peter

Escher, have provided thoughtful arguments for realigning the

profession, with equally strongly rationales for the oath's

principles. To be expected from Harvard Business School–trained

professionals, they cite case after case to buttress their points,

both good and bad stories, the latter including the Tylenol crisis.

The authors present their arguments rationally and passionately.

Who could argue with young leaders who argue that managers must

“strive to create sustainable economic, social, and environmental

prosperity worldwide”? --Barbara Jacobs

"

The MBA Oath

...turns out to be a thoughtful response to

the [recent] situation in which thousands of MBA students found

themselves.... A generation of students went to business school to

learn about business and found themselves portrayed as villains

because of the misdeeds of their predecessors.... The authors draw

on cases taught to Harvard MBA students to expand their view of

business ethics from the narrowly legal to a wider vision of

responsibility. They write meditatively about everything from

ambition to leadership."

The Financial Times

"Lawyers have their oath of attorney, and doctors have that

Hippocratic one, but it struck Max Anderson. . . . that MBAs have

nothing. And so he and several of his classmates created the MBA

oath, a promise to 'act with utmost integrity and pursue my work in

an ethical manner.' . . . These Harvard students have started an

important discussion about doing the right thing in business, which

is never a bad conversation to have."

Fast Company

"In the post-Enron and post-Madoff era, the issue of ethics and

corporate social responsibility has taken on greater urgency among

students about to graduate. While this might easily be dismissed as

a passing fancy-or simply a defensive reaction to the current

business environment-business school professors say that is not the

case. . . . Those graduating today, they say, are far more

concerned about how corporations affect the community, the lives of

its workers, and the environment."
