Coming of Middle Age in Business and Society
基于1990年管理学会社会议题分会年会的主旨演讲，探讨商业与社会领域在课程中地位的变化，指出其增长放缓的原因是该领域议题被商业职能领域吸收，未来取决于能否融入课程变革。
When it was a new, lively field of study, Business and Society quickly gained an important place in the curriculum by addressing issues largely ignored in business education. Today, that growth is slowing down, not because the issues are less important, but because many of them are being addressed by the functional fields of business. The future of the field will be importantly determined by its ability to become part of the evolving changes shaping the business curriculum. This article is based on the keynote address presented at the Annual Research Workshop on the Social Issues Division of the Academy of Management, San Francisco, California, August 12, 1990. CMR invited three other leading scholars in the field—Lee Preston of the University of Maryland, James Post of Boston University, and Karen Paul of the Rochester Institute of Technology—to offer their comments on Cheit9s address. Their responses follow the article.
