Abstract:
This paper examines the issue of the 2008 – 2009 financial crisis and the role of business school education within this crisis. In order to develop a rough understanding of the current business school curriculum, the web sites of the top ten World business school (as identified by Financial Times survey of the top 100 MBA programs worldwide) were examine in term of their inclusion of public policy or explicit treatments of current financial crisis. As can be seen, none of the schools pay considerable attention to a possible link between public policy and private corporate management, and few have even elective courses that allow for exploration of this issue
