Aspen CBE hosts Case Competition with a Green Focus This Friday, April 25th, CBE will host the final round of its JPMorgan sponsored Walter V. Shipley Business Leadership Case Competition. With an innovative new case study developed by Yale School of Management, we've asked students to put themselves in the role of financial advisor to the Environmental Defense Fund (EDF) during the recent buyout of TXU. The competition's final round will take place at a downtown NYC location from 4:00-7:00pm. If interested in attending, please contact Alex.Roberts@aspeninstitute.org.

MBA Student Attitudes About Business and Society

Our 2008 Student Attitudes Survey has just been released and has already received significant media attention (see below). This survey examines MBA student attitudes towards business and society and is based on research conducted in October 2007 at 15 leading MBA programs in the U.S., Canada and the U.K. The survey was also conducted in 2001 and 2003.
