Identity Crises offers just such an accounting. In this book, Robert G. Dunn situates the intellectual currency of "the postmodern" within the larger context of social and cultural change shaping the movement over the past several decades.PostmodernismSocial aspectsElectronic books.PostmodernismSocial aspects.300/.1306Dunn Robert G118710MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910457383903321Identity crises2109614UNINA04215nam 22006375 450 991096354920332120220414215010.0978150176177515017617739781501742088150174208610.7591/9781501742088(CKB)4100000009152874(MiAaPQ)EBC5888674(OCoLC)1089274553(MdBmJHUP)muse75914(StDuBDS)EDZ0002252781(DE-B1597)527507(DE-B1597)9781501742088(Perlego)1101341(EXLCZ)99410000000915287420200406h20192019 fg 0engurcnu||||||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierNothing succeeds like failurethe sad history of American business schools /Steven ConnIthaca, NY :Cornell University Press,[2019]©20191 online resource (288 pages)Histories of American EducationPreviously issued in print: 2019.9781501742071 1501742078 9781501742095 1501742094 Includes bibliographical references and index.Front matter --Contents --Introduction: The Beast That Ate Campus --1.

Do they help society by making better business leaders? No, they don't, Steven Conn asserts, and what's more they never have. In throwing down a gauntlet on the business of business schools, Conn's Nothing Succeeds Like Failure examines the frictions, conflicts, and contradictions at the heart of these enterprises and details the way business schools have failed to resolve them. Beginning with founding of the Wharton School in 1881, Conn measures these schools' aspirations against their actual accomplishments and tells the full and disappointing history of missed opportunities, unmet aspirations, and educational mistakes. Conn then poses a set of crucial questions about the role and function of American business schools. The results aren't pretty. Posing a set of crucial questions about the function of American business schools, Nothing Succeeds Like Failure is pugnacious and controversial. Deeply researched and fun to read, Nothing Succeeds Like Failure argues that the impressive façades of business school buildings resemble nothing so much as collegiate versions of Oz. Conn pulls back the curtain to reveal a story of failure to meet the expectations of the public, their missions, their graduates, and their own lofty aspirations of producing moral and ethical business leaders.Histories of American education.Cornell scholarship online.Business educationUnited StatesHistoryBusiness schoolsUnited StatesHistoryMaster of business administration degreeUnited StatesHistoryBusiness educationHistory.Business schoolsHistory.Master of business administration degreeHistory.650.071/173Conn Stevenauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1602496DE-B1597DE-B1597BOOK9910963549203321Nothing succeeds like failure4365337UNINA
