Business schools championing ethics in corporate world
Following a number of episodes that exposed the ethical dubiousness of certain business practices, including the housing crash of 2008, some have wondered whether business school education is partly to blame.

For Mintzberg, today鈥檚 enterprises have lost sight of what is right in favor of excess and greed, but there are many ways in which businesses can transition to operate and thrive responsibly.听
To lead is to manage; to manage is to lead
A piece for The Star Kenya tackles the age-old question of whether managers can also be leaders and cites Desautels professor Henry Mintzberg鈥檚 view that the two are not mutually exclusive.
