From higher aims to hired hands

Book • 2007
In *From Higher Aims to Hired Hands*, Rakesh Khurana explores the historical development of American business schools, tracing their shift from training a professional class of managers to focusing primarily on profit maximization.

The book argues that this transformation has led to a decline in moral and intellectual standards within business education, contributing to corporate malfeasance.

Khurana calls for reform to rejuvenate the intellectual and moral foundations of business leadership.
