Do Business Schools Play a Role in Normalising Labour Exploitation?

Report
We’ve often talked on this show about the exploitation of labour, especially at the very bottom of the chain, namely the migrant workers who are frequently trapped in conditions that resemble modern-day slavery. But one thing we haven’t really interrogated is the role of business schools: what they teach, what they leave out and whether the lessons and curriculum deal primarily on managing a boardroom and ensuring profitability or do they reflect realities on the ground, where wealth and corporate success are so often built on the backs of exploited labour? In this episode, we speak to Dr Priya Sharma about exactly that. She is the Head of the Commercial Law & Justice Centre at the Sunway Business School. She’s also written a book called Combating Modern Slavery: A Global Perspective.Image Credit: ShutterstockSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
