­­The Aspen Institute Center for Business Education has just released the first "Guide to Socially Responsible MBA Programs".

The guide provides an overview of how global MBA programs bring social impact management into their curricular and extracurricular programs. Social impact management, which includes environmental, ethical, and corporate governance issues, is the field of inquiry at the intersection of business needs and wider societal concerns that reflects their complex interdependency. Without an understanding of this interdependency, neither business nor the society in which it operates can thrive.

Rich Leimsider, executive director of the Aspen Institute Center for Business Education commented: ­"Building on our highly successful 'Beyond Grey Pinstripes Alternative MBA Rankings,' this MBA guide will serve the growing number of highly qualified prospective business school students for whom social and environmental responsibility is an extremely important factor as they plan their business education and career."
