Irreverent and indisciplined: Outranking management learning amid planetary ruination
探讨管理教育在全球生态毁灭中的角色,批判其助长资本主义帝国主义,并反思印度管理教育者如何通过不敬和不守纪律的知识实践来抵抗排名崇拜和学术废墟。
What is the role of management education amid ruination on a planetary scale?

We review how contemporary management education is infused with a desire for globally ranked excellence, even as it seeks “Indianness” as a form of recognition on the world stage. We focus on how this ranking fetish leaves academic debris in the form of predatory research practices, mimetic imperialist knowledge, socio-political irrelevance, and academic precarities. We consider the possibilities of being epistemically irreverent and indisciplined .
