Walking Our Talk: Business Schools, Legitimacy, and Citizenship
提出商学院公民身份概念,分析其如何应对美国管理教育中企业与大学利益冲突带来的合法性压力,并论证此类活动应被正当化并增加。
Business and society scholars have analyzed the citizenship activities of private firms, but what of their own institutions? This article introduces the concept of business school citizenship (BSC), examining it as a response to the legitimacy pressures created by competing corporate and university interests in the U.S. management-education context. Theories of corporate and of university social responsibility are used to explain BSC, and these theories form the basis of the argument that such activities can be justified and should be increased.
