Multicultural Critical Theory. At B-School?

[elleng]

Two years ago, for example, the Graduate School of Business at Stanford made a sweeping curriculum change that included more emphasis on multidisciplinary perspectives and understanding of cultural contexts. The first-quarter mandatory curriculum, for example, now includes a class called “The Global Context of Management and Strategic Leadership.” First-year students also must take a course called “Critical and Analytical Thinking.”

“If I’m going to really launch you on a career or path where you can make a big impact in the world,” explains the school’s dean, Garth Saloner, “you have to be able to think critically and analytically about the big problems in the world.”

1. Diversity is Strength....for Capital

but weakness for Labor.

So B-School and every other powerful institution that is controlled by Capital is very interested in Diversity.

2. You don't think Critical Theory

is important to business? What's wrong with multiculturalism?
