Re: [MTC Global] [Big Debate] Should the MBA Students Take an Oath?

Dear Friends
Certainly When every profession is encouraging oath taking why should we lag behind?It will act as a deterrent for erring MBA's. Pl go ahead it's already too late.

> Dear All,This has been debated many times for last few years specially after Harvard Class of 2009 started this process. Incidentally, I am one of the signatories on online MBA oath taken by many few years back.I agree with friends that Oath does not make much difference to the conduct and behavior of most, it is still a necessary ritual for assumption of public offices world over. It is also practiced by Legal and Medical Practitioners. I , for one, will suggest that Management Graduates should also be administered an oath of highest professional conduct in professional life. It will definitely keep reminding them of expected behavior in critical situations, doesn't matter if they do not voluntarily adhere to that.Even if it makes a difference to a small fraction of them and changes their conduct in few situations in their professional life, it is worth the effort.Regards,Dr R P SinghSent from Windows MailFrom:Manoj Mehrortra

To:join_mtc@googlegroups.comIf we expect to instill moral values and build character through Oath taking then we are mistakes. We have been administering a Management Professional Oath at the Convocation ceremony for the PGDM students, but I doubt its outcome in practice. Similar is my observation about the Hippocrates Oath delivered to Medical Practitioners or to Lawyers to uphold the sanctity of their profession. It becomes a ritual without any visible effect in practice.Prof (Dr) Manoj MehrotraDirectorSchool of Management Sciences,LucknowMob: 9919777701

Dear Sir, Taking an oath is a custom that has come down from the past. An oath is a

public declaration that as a member of a creed a person will follow its principles,

traditions and customs. An oath is a confirmation of an initiation rite. So we have oaths

administered to the officer cadets of our defence and civil, police or any other service

of the nation. An oath commits a person to discharge the duties in the expected manner

that characterizes the creed or cult or an office of national importance.



Does it make sense for a B-school to administer an oath but does not follow its own laid

down principles? A run of the mill B-school administering an oath only serves a vain and

senseless purpose. If at all an oath is to be administered then it would be to remind the

students of their formal duty by the Institute and to uphold the dignity and decency in

public.Beyond this it would serve no purpose to make anyone take an oath only to consign

it later.

Best Regards,

K.Paranjpe

Subject: Re: [MTC Global] [Big Debate] Should the MBA Students Take an Oath?People do not

follow or remember oath, so it is not necessary. On the similar logic, many things may

not be necessary as people do not follow those. We need to make an honest effort to

create awareness and encourage students towards certain directions to make them binding

and responsible.Character building is a domain which is little different than the oath.

The question comes in my mind "Is personal values / character and professional ethics are

interdependent ? or both can exist independent of each other".HBS has a very good

professional ethics code for MBA graduates.Kindest Regards,BholanathOn Thu, May 28, 2015

the world? What about MBA professors or students in other disciplines ? I think the whole

point of introducing oath is meaningless when daily prayers in most Indian families does

not lead to building a strong character. Doctors have to take the oath because they are

dealing with life and death issues. The worst the MBAs could do is manipulate profits and

losses, nothing more.Kuldeep Nagi

the very first day when they are in the campus?Many colleges have 'Professional Ethics '

inspection.Do you too agree that an Oath will set the platform right on the very first

day???How many colleges are seriously doing it?Request esteemed MTCians' views.--
