I'd argue that business school does not teach that at all. That is a behavior taught by corporate sociopaths to other sociopaths being groomed. I base this on my business degree and 20 years at a major corporation. The distance between the two is enormous.

Same with human resources degrees. Unless you figure out that your job is to protect the company and not its employees, you’ll hit a glass ceiling on your way up the HR career ladder.
