“Before the financial
crisis, a lot of business schools talked the talk on ethics and their contribution
to society, but did not make it a core part of their program. Now they are
seeing it as a key part of their curriculum. It is important that the values
of excellence, leadership, integrity and social awareness are imprinted on
students by business schools – this needs to be just as important as the
imparting of business skills.”

Mthuli Ncube, President of
the South African Association of Business Schools and Director of Wits Business School
