Abstract
As Organization celebrates its 30th Anniversary, this paper asks: what might it mean to be a good business school? The paper reviews research published in this journal to assess the current state of business schools, revealing a somewhat dismal picture of institutions beholden to instrumental managerialism, top-down hierarchical control, obsession with metrics, and narrow and elitist research agendas. This state of affairs is re-assessed though Raewyn Connell’s idea of The Good University. Through this analysis, we are able to identify the good business school as one serves society by educating citizens and creating knowledge that leads to shared prosperity, social equality and human flourishing.
在组织庆祝成立30周年之际,本文提出了一个问题:成为一所优秀商学院意味着什么?这篇论文回顾了发表在本刊上的研究,以评估商学院的现状,揭示了一幅令人沮丧的画面:这些机构受制于工具性管理主义、自上而下的等级控制、对指标的痴迷,以及狭隘而精英化的研究议程。这种状况通过雷文·康奈尔(Raewyn Connell)的“好大学”(The Good University)概念得到了重新评估。通过这种分析,我们能够确定好的商学院是通过教育公民和创造知识来实现共同繁荣、社会平等和人类繁荣,从而为社会服务的商学院。
期刊介绍:
The journal encompasses the full range of key theoretical, methodological and substantive debates and developments in organizational analysis, broadly conceived, identifying and assessing their impacts on organizational practices worldwide. Alongside more micro-processual analyses, it particularly encourages attention to the links between intellectual developments, changes in organizational forms and practices, and broader social, cultural and institutional transformations.
