The debate is one of the main attractions of the MBA Launch: three weeks of lectures, interactive sessions on careers and personal development, team-building and social events that introduce the incoming MBA students to Oxford, to each other, and to the major ideas that they will explore during the year-long course. With a provocative motion, speakers drawn from the Oxford Saïd faculty and the MBA class of 2015, and plenty of contributions from the floor, the event was lively and challenging.

The Final result was:

    I registered for the 1+1 MBA in 2022 and I so look forward to debating and following the 1+1 MBA program on campus at Balliol College which I have closely followed for awhile now, thank you.

    Very, very good! The speakers love to say, "denied!" It is so entertaining. It's like when the the teacher sceams at the class & says, "Class! Shut Up!" , from an older SNL. The arguments were brilliant! Thank you guys & gals for posting. Really, really great!

    Indeed, it takes really good education to believe in this nonsense, that only incentive should be a profit. We live in a system which promotes and incentivizes profit maximization, hence, institutions are doing precisely what they were designed to do. The real question this "well educated" people should be debating is whether it is morally good and sustainable for the well being of the human race to live under such economic system.
