Vivek,

1. captivate != cheat
2. What does recommending ads have to do with ethics? An ad can be called a great ad just because of the visual imagery or the symbolism involved in it as well (the famous superbowl ad of Apple which was aired only once).

Are you implying that ethics are imparted by what education you undergo? Does that mean that the illiterate people are unethical? Or are you saying that they teach you to be unethical in MBA

Be a engineer, be logical man

MBA aren't alians. Most of them are Engineers with special qualities and knowledge. Why should we debate on weather MBAs are professionals?

[Btw, appraisal times are around. We are bound to get such posts! muwahaha ]

Vivek,

1. I am not arguing, I am not even debating ... just gathering some facts ... amused, yes, that I am
2. So why cant an MBA think ethically?

PS - Trust me I am not aroused!!

PPS - Mods, walking away now ... no need to lock the thread.

Well, don't need to walk away.. I don't see any trouble here (yet).

I don't think its fair to accuse our friends in the business sector of unethical practicies. It doesn't depend on what job you are in, it depends on the type of person you are.

I'd sure like to see other CEans being involved with this debate

Well, I personally do not think that this is a 'debate', as such. I'll be surprized if this debate continues to be active.

Too true, there are unethical people in all professions. Typically a "professional" is used to describe someone employed in the "white collar" sector and many times someone in middle management or above. To me personally, the definition of a professional is about one's integrity, honesty & ethics and has nothing to do with the career type. There are lot of professional janitors or "blue collar" workers out there that could teach a lot of "white collar" folks!

[vivekji]

Amen!
That's agreeable!
