I agree with the Economist's opinion. While the intense competition among students and teams in business school creates opportunities for an individual to move away from ethical behavior, the choice to do so is grounded in the individual's moral and ethical values. Successful leadership requires, first and foremost, a solid ethical and moral underpinning.
"The real problem arises when students, or their new employers, believe that an MBA is, somehow, a qualification for business leadership. It is not, nor could any academic degree provide this. Law or medical degrees are necessary but not sufficient for the making of outstanding lawyers or doctors. In a similar way, a good MBA degree can help provide a student with analytical skills and theoretical knowledge useful to a business career. But becoming a successful leader of men and women in a turbulent business world requires maturity and wisdom. Happily, there is no degree programme for those."
