One thing the recent financial events have clearly highlighted is something many of us have known for some time: the next-generation of finance professionals will have to know as much about risk management as they do about seeking return. The firms that can effectively allocate their finite capital on a risk adjusted return basis are the ones that will be most sucessful. This is a skill set I emphasize in my teaching at BU and I think you will begin to see this as an emerging trend across all MBA programs.
