How would you answer this question: "“What is it that you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?” The question was first posed in 1992 by the American poet Mary Oliver in a masterful poem entitled “The Summer Day.” For the past eight years, graduating MBAs of the Harvard Business School have written brief essays in response.
Increasing numbers of MBAs are headed not to hedge funds and investment banks or global consulting firms but rather to the booming field of social entrepreneurship. What are the best schools teaching in this area? What are students doing in social enterprise?
You know who you are. You have a liberal arts background, possibly an English or history major, and now you're going to business school. You are terrified, or at least awed, by the amount of quant material in a prestige MBA program. Can you handle it? Have any advice for fellow poets? For quants and what they can learn from you?
The idea to take an oath started with some members of the Class of 2009 at Harvard Business School and has now spread to more than 200 business schools. The larger goal is to challenge MBAs to work with a higher professional standard and create a public conversation about integrity and values among MBAs. Is it really necessary?
