MBA Oath sees business school students promise to "create value responsibly and ethically"

A group of Harvard Business School graduates have created a voluntary pledge for MBA students who want to lead in the interests of the greater good. The Oath's website proclaims:

"From the Hippocratic Oath to Thunderbird's Oath of Honor and the Columbia Business School's Honor Code, professionals, students, and academics have evoked kindred aspirations. We are building upon these essential efforts to create a community of MBAs with a high standard for ethical and professional behavior."

The MBA Oath has now been taken by students, graduates and advisors at over 250 schools around the world. The people behind the Oath are also partnering with the Aspen Institute and the World Economic Forum. Their long-term goal is "to transform the field of management into a true profession, one in which MBAs are respected for their integrity, professionalism, and leadership."
