Business

In business, authorities in the field such as Philip Kotler in his book Chaotics the business of managing and marketing in the age of turbulence have emphasized that any enterprise can only be led smoothly if the whole team involved in the strategizing and implementation of the policies that govern the enterprise are directed by a leader equipped with enough conceptual skills and competency in critical thinking. These attributes are invaluable especially in problem solving and decision making.

Value statements
The value statements that can be derived from a point of view of leadership and critical thinking are in essence

Problem solving  this involves first of all an appreciation of the facts surrounding a situation in order to be able to make an informed choice and decision as remarks Anita Hernadek in her book Critical thinking. The value of this is that a member of a masters business class will be aided in mitigating problems that may arise in and outside the classroom while at the same time sharpening his decision making skills and character in handling them.

Character building- an individual being instructed in a business course of a masters level needs to curve out a character frame centered on the core values of leadership and critical thinking by - intellectual humility, courage (personal and professional), empathy, perseverance and fair-mindedness- this can be cultivated by actively involving oneself in not just the theoretical class instructions but by also incorporating the same in every front social and professional.

Ethics- attest that one can be a very good critical thinker and have the appropriate disposition in cognitive processes but lack the moral fiber to back it up e.g. by using the knowledge and skills therein to exploit and mislead those who lack the same skills and disposition, more so looking at it at a professional angle. A member of a business class of a masters caliber need to take this in consideration and propagate integrity in and out of their course work. John Persisco and Patricia Rouner in their book the new business values for success in the 21st century hold ethical practice and conduct as one of the most fundamental value statements that should be at the fore front of any business undertaking if it is to succeed.
