How Are We Doing 60 Years Later. 330 $aIn the mid-20th century, university-based business schools re-oriented themselves to increased alignment with the preferences of the university and decreased alignment with the preferences of business. This re-alignment has caused multiple observers to question the effectiveness of current-day business schools. For example, recent discussions have lamented that business schools are engaged in research that does not influence the practice of business. This book engages these debates, arguing that all judgments about the effectiveness of business schools are rooted in assumptions about what the purposes of the business school appropriately are and that many of those assumptions are unstated and not subjected to debate. The author weaves a unique blend of complexity theory, philosophy of science, and the nature of professions to articulate those goals and assess the effectiveness at meeting them. The book traces parallel discussions regarding the purpose of the university in the writings of Aristotle and Wilhelm von Humboldt and ties those discussions to current debates. This book will inform business faculty and administrators of the degree to which university-based business schools are balancing multiple purposes which include discovery of knowledge, creating knowledge that informs the practice of business, training professionals, and instilling ethical principles in its training of those professionals. 410 0$aPalgrave pivot. 606 $aBusiness schools 606 $aManagement$xStudy and teaching (Higher) 606 $aBusiness and education 606 $aBusiness education 615 0$aBusiness schools. 615 0$aManagement$xStudy and teaching (Higher) 615 0$aBusiness and education. 615 0$aBusiness education. 676 $a658.00711 700 $aMiles$b Edward W$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0937892 801 0$bMiFhGG 801 1$bMiFhGG 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910337785903321 996 $aThe Purpose of the Business School$92112855 997 $aUNINA
