Most M.B.A. Students Think Profits and Social Responsibility Can Coexist, Survey Finds

By KATHERINE MANGAN

Today's M.B.A. students are not as ethically challenged as recent reports make them out to be, according to the findings of a study being released today at a global conference of business educators and leaders. In fact, 81 percent of those responding to a recent survey believe businesses should work to improve society, and 78 percent of them want "corporate social responsibility" integrated throughout their core courses.

The survey results will be presented during a three-day conference, "Business as an Agent of World Benefit," at Case Western Reserve University, in Cleveland. The conference, which began on Monday, has drawn 440 management educators and business leaders, as well as about 1,000 online participants.
