The future of the business school: Knowledge challenges and opportunities
回顾商学院的起源与演变,探讨管理研究与教学中的理想与现实,指出商学院的角色正受到质疑,但讨论常脱离大学整体变革。作者认为应从知识生产变化的角度讨论商学院未来,并指出其有机会成为独特的知识生成与传播场所。
Despite its importance, there is relatively little serious academic research into the business school. This article sets out to stimulate debate that will fill this gap. We review the origins and evolution of the business school and debates about management research and teaching in terms of ideals and practice. Increasingly, the role of the business school is being questioned but much of this debate looks at the business school in isolation from changes in the wider university sector. We situate our analysis within the broader context of debates about the university as a privileged knowledge space. We conclude by suggesting that the future of the business school can best be discussed in terms of changes in knowledge production and that the business school has the opportunity to position itself as a unique site of knowledge generation and diffusion.
