Individuals, larger or smaller groups, formal or informal entities, public or private, governmental, for profit or not-for-profit, professionals, experts, generalists, and common men - all should be responsible as regards the society since they exist in. But, how many persons really are responsible, though, is hard to establish. How their responsibility should take shape is a matter of individual choice is difficult to determine. The educational society has the responsibility to educate everyone to be responsible is a must. From all societal actors, universities are the ones educating the future elites of a country. What they teach and what they do not teach may make or break a nation’s future and well-being. Hence, management educators as the visionaries and as social constructors should be responsive to their responsibilities, and should strive to discharge duties in regards to responsibilities at maximum possible level.
