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. 410 0$aHistories of American education. 410 0$aCornell scholarship online. 606 $aBusiness education$zUnited States$xHistory 606 $aBusiness schools$zUnited States$xHistory 606 $aMaster of business administration degree$zUnited States$xHistory 610 $abusiness education, management education, higher education. 615 0$aBusiness education$xHistory. 615 0$aBusiness schools$xHistory. 615 0$aMaster of business administration degree$xHistory. 676 $a650.071/173 700 $aConn$b Steven$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01480470 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910793731403321 996 $aNothing succeeds like failure$93789156 997 $aUNINA
