THE MBA OATH


http://mbaoath.org/take-the-oath/
As a manager, my purpose is to serve the
greater good by bringing people and
resources together to create value that no
single individual can create alone. Therefore
I will seek a course that enhances the value
my enterprise can create for society over
the long term. I recognize my decisions can
have far-reaching consequences that affect
the well-being of individuals inside and
outside my enterprise, today and in the
future. As I reconcile the interests of
different constituencies, I will face choices
that are not easy for me and others.

THE MBA OATH

Therefore I promise:
I will act with utmost integrity and pursue my work in an ethical manner.
I will safeguard the interests of my shareholders, co-workers, customers
and the society in which we operate.
I will manage my enterprise in good faith, guarding against decisions and
behavior that advance my own narrow ambitions but harm the enterprise
and the societies it serves.
I will understand and uphold, both in letter and in spirit, the laws and
contracts governing my own conduct and that of my enterprise.
I will take responsibility for my actions, and I will represent the
performance and risks of my enterprise accurately and honestly.
I will develop both myself and other managers under my supervision so
that the profession continues to grow and contribute to the well-being of
society.
I will strive to create sustainable economic, social, and environmental
prosperity worldwide.
I will be accountable to my peers and they will be accountable to me for
living by this oath.
This oath I make freely, and upon my honor.
