The New Curriculum


MBA aspirants joining this year & in the future may get to read a lot about the Satyam Scam & the fallen IT Czar Ramalinga Raju.

The question now being debated is whether fresh MBA grads ought to have their attention focussed on such a topic. There are some who feel that MBA's should know a thing or two about business ethics, and keeping that in mind is much more important than earning profits. Others say that such cases should be left to students doing CA courses and law firms as they are more involved directly in such cases.

According to me, a businessman needs to be aware of all his surroundings. People would think twice before they do something foolish or the other.

An MBA grad should know what has to be followed. There are many ways a company can earn its profits. Proper management happens when you take the right path of earning this profit. India is already dependent on FDI's & FII's on maintaining its stock market movement. Any similar mishap can make such investors loose their confidence in the Indian business environment, ultimately leading to more disaster.

Let us hope that there wont be another 'Enron' or 'Satyam' for us to study.
