Herbert A. Simon on What Ails Business Schools: More than ‘A Problem in Organizational Design’
批判性审视西蒙1967年关于商学院组织设计的论文，指出管理教育者误用了西蒙的研究与教育议程，导致商学院研究停滞、难以指导实践。
abstract We critically examine Herbert Simon's 1967 essay, ‘The business school: a problem in organizational design’. We consider this essay within the context of Simon's key ideas about organizations, particularly those closely associated with the ‘Carnegie perspective’ on organizations and how they influenced the reinvention of American business schools in the post‐Second World War era, and were deeply influenced by the post‐War context and also were appropriated by the Ford and Carnegie Foundations to reform business school teaching and research. We argue that management educators misappropriated Simon's concept of an intellectually robust and relevant research and educational agenda for business schools that has in part contributed to the intellectual stasis that now characterizes business education research and its capacity to inform management practice.
