    Hi everyone-

     

    Our Closer Look topic this month is climate change.   Just as responses from companies have been varied on this issue, so too have the responses from business schools around the world.  (Download the report at: http://www.beyondgreypinstripes.org/pdf/ClimateChangemass.pdf)  

     

    Overall, we find that very few MBA programs include climate changes issues or similar environmental threats in core Finance or Operations courses.  There are several bright spots, however.

     

    All previous Closer Looks, including recent editions on Social Entrepreneurship or Accounting can always be found at: www.beyondgreypinstripes.org/rankings/closer_looks.cfm

     

    Thanks for your interest.
