Those able to get into an MBA program will find some changes in course offerings. Today's MBA program is as likely to cover corporate social responsibility as it is to teach finance and accounting. Debacles such as the collapse of Enron fueled pressure on business schools to do something about the seeming lack of ethics and social responsibility at the top of many US businesses. MBA candidates and graduates are not the only pressure points for change. Executives themselves, and executive educators interested in values-based leadership, have also worked to change the focus of the MBA degree. Business schools also began to respond to pressure from business organizations to make the MBA experience shorter and more practical. At Colorado State, students must work on a sustainability project...

The dominant model of regulation in the United States for consumer credit, insurance, and investment products is disclosure and unfettered choice. As these products have become more complex, consumers' inability to understand them has become increasingly apparent, and the consequences of this inability more dire. In response, policymakers have embraced financial-literacy education as a necessary corollary to the disclosure model of regulation. This education is widely believed to turn consumers into "responsible" and "empowered" market players, motivated and competent to make financial decisions that increase their own welfare. The vision created is of educated consumers handling their own credit, insurance, and retirement planning matters by confidently navigating the bountiful unrestr...

In recent years, several laws and regulations have set new requirements for the financial literacy and expertise of members of audit committees. Current NYSE and Nasdaq rules rely heavily on SEC Rule 10A-3(b), which sets required standards of independence, prohibiting an audit committee member from accepting directly or indirectly any consulting, advisory, or other compensatory fee from the issuer or any subsidiary under most cases. Current regulations and laws vary as to the meaning of financial literacy and financial expertise. Audit committee members are required to be able to read and understand fundamental financial statements under the rules of both the NYSE (Listed Company Manual section 303A.07) and Nasdaq (Rule 4350-4). Both regulations refer to SEC Regulation S-K for the accep...

To get a picture of what graduate business education of the future will resemble, it helps to look back 2,500 years or so. That's when Greek philosopher Heraclitus proclaimed that character is destiny. This ancient wisdom describes the way in which business schools currently strive to differentiate their cultural offering to prospective students in the midst of a global financial crisis that has forced university leadership to rethink the fundamental nature of graduate business education. Graduate business education is becoming more agile in responding to breaking business issues with relevant classroom instruction. As professors, business school administrators, MBA students and companies advocate, more business schools will delve into the realm of ethics and values in a more meaningful...

EDS's program for recruiting finance and accounting professional takes into account the company's limited resources and the seemingly unlimited competition for qualified employees. When looking for new recruits, the Plano, TX-based company reviews all resumes it receives, does not limit its search only to applicants with finance or accounting degrees, and makes campus recruiting visits. It recruits all year long, tries to foster long-term relations with university personnel, and makes sure that its own financial executives are in charge of recruitment. EDS looks for soft skills in candidates with the intention of developing hard skills later on. Interviews are a straightforward exchange of information and discuss the potential pitfalls of the job. The company succeeds in recruiting tale...
