Wel, it's about time. Writes one Harvard Business School professor Shoshana Zuboff, ""I have come to believe that much of what my colleagues and I taught has caused real suffering, suppressed wealth creation, destabilized the world economy, and accelerated the demise of the 20th century capitalism in which the U.S. played the leading role." Nothing I haven't said here. And more, "We weren't stupid and we weren't evil. Nevertheless we managed to produce a generation of managers and business professionals that is deeply mistrusted and despised by a majority of people in our society and around the world. This is a terrible failure." Yes it is. So what should be done about it? Probably more than what is outlined here, because it has to be about more than simply earning sales. Via Richard Nantel.
