Abstract: This paper argues that financial and economic crisis reflects the way that managers and the managerial elite often make fallible and self-interested decisions. Business education has contributed to this through a conditioning process, where educators have reduced the content of business education by neglecting its basic disciplinary concepts and preferring a soft agenda that panders to fashion and student complaints about 'difficult work'. This is supported by university managers who see business schools as sources of income and the embodiment of a business focused agenda.
