Why Harvard Business School Is Under Fire

I wonder how much of the issue is an admissions problem and not a curricular problem. By virtue of HBS "being the best" they are going to select people that will do what it takes to get into "the best". This trait will continue right into a business world where "the best" is measured by short-term quarterly earnings.

Being the best is not an issue, the definition of being the best is.

and the ability to embrace situation ethics, or worse.

As an HBS alum and investor, I think you have the incorrect impression of why people are admitted to HBS and also what people who matter define as a "good" corporate leader.

Could you elaborate? I'm curious what your impression is and what they value (they being an intentionally vague term).
