Lyman Porter and Lawrence McKibbin complain that they have found in ma
ny U.S. schools of management a ''cookie cutter mentality'' that disco
urages a diversity of approaches necessary to make progress in managem
ent education. A Catholic school of management can contribute to the d
iversity 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.
