Why we should bulldoze the business school
The Guardian
~13 min read · 234 saves · From 2018 · Martin Parker · Business schools have earned their reputation for encouraging avarice and evading ethical responsibilities – and no performance improvement plan is going to correct their deficiencies. So argues Martin Parker, author of Against Management and Shut Down the Business School and a professor of management with 20-plus years’ experience in British business schools. Parker outlines the ways these programs fail, how they’ve betrayed their graduates and society, and why the world would be better off without them. MBA insiders and apologists will likely shake off Parker’s critique, but for readers who share the author’s concerns, getAbstract recommends this impassioned and scathing j’accuse.
