Good reading, and very topical. This is not the first, second, or even third time I've heard issues of ethics come up in discussions of b-school applications.

In fact, I just heard on the radio tonight part of a lecture given at the World Affairs Council by Jeffrey Garten, the Dean of the Yale School of Management, plugging his new book about ethics and business.

Here's the "teaser" for the radio show:

Tue, December 3, 2002 -- 2:00am

"Policy in the Post-9/11, Post-Enron Era." Tonight's speaker is Jeffrey E. Garten, Dean of the Yale School of Management, former Undersecretary of Commerce for International Trade and Monthly Columnist for Business Week. What role should business leaders play in the wake of both the September 11 terrorist attacks and the corporate scandals? In Garten's new book, "The Politics of Fortune: A New Agenda for Business Leaders," he recommends that CEOs change not only their corporate and public strategies, but also their way of thinking about their responsibilities to a broader society.

I couldn't listen to the whole things as, alas, I had arrived at my destination.
