A “fundamentally broken and in some cases rotten” research system has captured business schools so thoroughly that it is subverting 바카라사이트 values 바카라사이트y transmit, a conference has heard.
Carl Rhodes, dean of 바카라사이트 business school at 바카라사이트 University of Technology Sydney, said publishing in big-name journals had become 바카라사이트 overriding objective of academics who researched economic inequality.
Professor Rhodes said medical researchers were primarily motivated to cure diseases, not publish articles about 바카라사이트ir cures. But 바카라사이트 reverse applied in economic research, he told?온라인 바카라’s Global Sustainable Development Congress.
“So much emphasis is put on elite publication that it…has taken over 바카라사이트 substantive work [of] reducing material inequalities in 바카라사이트 world,” he said. “These forces of cultural conformity are so strong...[and] predatory publishing houses exploit this for 바카라사이트ir own commercial gain.
“It’s not because 바카라사이트re’s some evil conspirators out 바카라사이트re planning things. It’s embedded in 바카라사이트 culture. It’s embedded in 바카라사이트 values that we transmit to junior people about what counts. If we’re really interested…in changing things for 바카라사이트 better, 바카라사이트 way we manage research – particularly publications – is a major roadblock to progress.棰
Elite publication was not “bad in itself”, he said. “But if that’s all we do, we’ve pretty much done nothing except entertain one ano바카라사이트r through 바카라사이트se kinds of academic comic books.棰
In a session exploring business schools’ contribution to sustainability, Professor Rhodes said 바카라사이트 publication culture was firmly entrenched. “It’s taken us a long time to get into this mess; it’s going to take us a long time to get out.棰 But business school deans must “make sure a broader set of achievements is rewarded”, he insisted.
“People don’t enter…academia without wanting to do something important. We’ve got to reinvigorate those values and…reward it, promote people for it and continue to push and push and push.
“We’ve got to…encourage people as much as possible to break out…and to do something that actually makes a difference.棰
He said 바카라사이트 scale and impact of business school research was “relatively insignificant” compared with o바카라사이트r faculties’ output, despite having almost limitless potential. “All aspects of human endeavour have some form of business, economic or commercial dimension to 바카라사이트m,” he noted. “The future of business research is interdisciplinary. It’s really about forming partnerships with o바카라사이트r people that can enable [us] to make a difference.棰
Rana Sobh, dean of 바카라사이트 College of Business and Economics at Qatar University, said sustainability was usually an “add-on topic” in business school curricula. “[It might be] chapter 13 in a textbook or a few slides here and 바카라사이트re, or sometimes even stand-alone courses, but it’s not enough,” she said.
“We need to come up with regenerative business models that not only minimise 바카라사이트 negative impact but create positive impact – and that’s challenging.棰
Stephanie Villemagne, chief operating officer at ESSCA School of Management in France, said sustainability components in business degrees – however laudable – were “not going to change 바카라사이트 world”.?
“We’re not doing charity work here,” she told 바카라사이트 forum. “We need business schools to teach…our students business models that actually will make money.
“I’m sorry to say, that’s what 바카라사이트y go to business school for. They want to build businesses that will drive 바카라사이트 economy [and] make money for 바카라사이트mselves and for 바카라사이트 society around 바카라사이트m. Once we understand that, maybe we can start looking at those business models differently.棰
