Abstract

Lyman Porter and Lawrence McKibbin complain that they have found in many U.S. schools of management a "cookie cutter mentality" that discourages a diversity of approaches necessary to make progress in management education. A Catholic school of management can contribute to the diversity and plurality of management education only if the Catholicity and liberal arts mission of its institution is taken seriously. This mission-driven focus entails integrating dimensions of management with liberal learning, faith, profession, and service.
