I think this is a pretty naive way to look at it. Of course Harvard realizes their MBAs often end up with a duty to maximize shareholder value at any and all costs. Isn't that kind of the point? "That" being to create tension between the two duties and hopefully get people to examine the system?

This whole short-sighted duty to maximize shareholder value is unarguably a part of the problem with modern capitalism. That was the driving force behind the rush to the dizzying returns promised by the financial black magic that melted the economy.
