【正文】 ivity and breadth of understanding that yourMBA students will need in order to be to be effective leaders in an already dangerous anduncertain world? Is the notion of environmental limits and the enhancement of munitycapital a recurring theme in your finance and accounting, marketing, corporate strategy andmanufacturing modules? How often, for instance, do key words such as population, poverty,climate change, ecosystems and biodiversity, human rights, Africa, megacities, and theempowerment of women appear in your lectures or academic publications? Are your young,untenured academics promoted and rewarded for doing work that relates to sustainability,ethics or society? In short, are your business schools really in touch with the issues that willincreasingly have an impact on the future viability of businesses, or should wise and forwardthinking panies be looking elsewhere to develop their executives for the future?
Ladies and Gentlemen, your business schools are rooted in both academia and industry and Ibelieve you have a very special role to play. Society needs to be able to look to you withconfidence for some of the best thinking and the most enlightened education, to secure thefuture for our children and our childrenamp。39。s children.
So, if I may just add this in at the end, my challenge to all of you is to build on what you aredoing already and find ever better ways to integrate sustainability into every aspect of yourresearch and teaching. Of course, I understand the attraction of tried and tested methods, butimproving on amp。lsquo。business as usualamp。39。 with conventional case studies and metrics is absolutely notgoing to be sufficient! So I hope, hope you will have the courage to step out of the fortzone of the current paradigm and ask the really difficult questions about what it will take tosucceed in business in the next 50 years.
Why not think about how you might lead the way? Could you for instance, move ahead of thepack with courage and vision, radically transforming your curriculum and conducting new andinteresting research in this field, despite all the countervailing pressures that reinforcebusiness as usual? Just think for a minute, you could even work with some of my organizationslike A4S, the CISL (Cambridge Institute for Sustainability Leadership) and my InternationalSustainability Unit in order to help you with this transformation!
We do it already with lots of businesses anyway, and the capital markets, to try and addressthe points you were making if I may say so.
And finally, Ladies and Gentlemen, to all current business school students amp。ndash。 and to those whoare deciding where to study amp。ndash。 ask yourself, is your chosen business school really at the end ofthe day, going to equip you to be the kind of leader that I suggest is so badly needed for thenext 50 years? Because nothing less will do.
