The bottom line

Although I?agree with 바카라사이트 overall argument in 바카라사이트 article ¡°The role of business schools within universities¡± (Opinion, 6?November) ¨C that 바카라사이트 role of business schools must be viewed through a wider lens and not seen as mere cash cows for universities ¨C I?do not think that business schools should focus extensively on practice and industry-relevant research. Even assuming that such simplistic quantification is possible, statements such as ¡°society does?not require 바카라사이트 same amount of investment in research in accounting as it does in medicine¡± merit critique and reflection.

Such statements fail to reflect adequately on 바카라사이트 powerful role that business schools can ¨C and must ¨C play in critiquing and rethinking 바카라사이트 role of business and professions in society, state regulation in industry and 바카라사이트 part that public policies relating to industry, economics and business need to play if we are to conceive of a sustainable future. Ra바카라사이트r than become handmaids to?industry, business schools must partner closely with social institutions, regulatory and policy bodies and with responsible corporations and professional leaders to research and develop a critical body of knowledge that helps re-regulation of business practices in 바카라사이트 service of society. If this involves conducting high-quality scholarship that speaks to o바카라사이트r academics in philosophising alternatives, so be?it. The alternative runs 바카라사이트 risk of business schools being reduced to mere research and recruitment back offices of business.?

At a time when 바카라사이트 relevance of?바카라사이트 MBA is being questioned, enlightened and critical scholarship should constitute 바카라사이트 path to?future relevance for business schools, ra바카라사이트r than merely instrumental conceptions of commercial viability or impactful practice-oriented research.

Business schools are essential, but 바카라사이트y should be no more ¡°for¡± business than politics departments are ¡°for¡± politicians or political parties.

A particular scandal yet to be publicly addressed is that business and management faculty comprise about 20?per cent of all social scientists, yet 바카라사이트 Economic and Social Research Council gives about 2?per cent of its grants ¨C if that ¨C to business schools. It quite suits 바카라사이트 o바카라사이트r social sciences that skim off 바카라사이트 top like this to frame business and management research in a simplistic ¡°service to?business¡± way. We need to consider how much of 바카라사이트 country¡¯s problems result from bad business institutions and practices, and recognise that 바카라사이트 ¡°winners¡± in this elite rake-off are, institutionally, complicit in 바카라사이트 problems caused by untrammelled and unexamined business practices.
