Volume 2 explores: Critical Thinking as applied to free market enterprise capitalism; to profit maximization presumptive models of capitalist thinking; to challenges of student assurance of learning; for owning moral responsibility for turbulent markets; and to domesticate global social ’wicked’ problems. It is essential reading for all MBA students, as well as for researchers and practitioners.
