Everything should not be spoonfed. If everything is taught as at B-School, what the candidate/student will do. Some of the attributes like - Compassion, character, attitude, personality are personal attributes thats depends on the personal experiences, psychological effects & nature of a person. B-Schools does fine tune the attributes and inculcate values but not to teach them. You cant teach compassion, it has to come from inner most feelings of a person.
Please dont every blame that B-Schools dont teach this, dont teach that blah blah. Think and write and dont wirte or make a statement for the heck of writing.

Dear Mr. Sairam, By the logic you have outlined in your post, there is no point teaching ethics in business schools. If these concepts were so deeply ingrained in individuals, then even other other concepts like corporate culture and values have no place in the functioning of the modern business. Corporations and institutions still go ahead and outline their values and code of conduct. I leave you to form your own conclusions. Value based education exists for people on their way to corporate boardrooms in some form. But the article points out the shortfalls which is laudable and worth a thought instead of an impatient dismissal as a comment against the curricula of business schools.
