About this blog

  • Thinking Ethics was a project launched in Geneva to foster the debate about ethics. A few friends, fed up with only reading about abuses in the media, decided to hold a forward-looking seminar on five subjects: ethics and performance, ethics and knowledge, ethics and consciousness, ethics and disobedience and ethics in real time. If moral has to do with right and wrong, then ethics is its application in society. We believe that people need to talk about the subject to determine the level of ethics they want. The book Thinking Ethics, a result of the seminar, is to start the discussion. This blog is a contribution to the conversation.

Selection to University on ethical grounds

From a posting on CSRwire I found out that StartingBloc and the Sloan School at MIT have created a new MBA program for Young Leaders and Social Entrepreneurs. About 6 Class of 2005 StartingBloc fellows have been accepted for deferred admission (they get to work a year or two first) at the MIT Sloan School of Management 2 year MBA program. Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy at Tufts University is also accepting 6 students for the coming year. Besides being a great initiative, this should help with the image and research that claims that MBA students are statistically less ethical than students who choose other subjects.

StartingBloc is a social venture dedicated to recruiting, training, placing and supporting a generation of young leaders and entrepreneurs that redefine entrepreneurship as a force for creating both profit and social change.
