摘要：This paper briefly outlines one of the central philosophical and ethical conflicts existing within North America’s corporatist society: the role of academia in developing ethical corporate leaders. It looks at why that conflict has been resolved as it has, and how resolution has produced an educational system increasingly devoted more to the training of employable entry-level workers than producing a liberally-educated, knowledgeable, and thinking citizenry. At the post-secondary level, schools of business and management have been especially impacted by the systematic turn away from the traditional role of institutions of “higher learning”. This paper is a call for the establishment of a substantial and focused liberal education component in the curricula of undergraduate business programs, a component designed specifically to produce graduates with the capacity to develop into thoughtful and thinking leaders as well as efficient and profitgenerating managers.
