From Higher Aims to Hired Hands: The Social Transformation of American Business Schools and the Unfulfilled Promise of Management as a Profession
Rakesh Khurana
Is management a profession? Should it be? Can it be? This title reveals how such questions have driven business education and shaped American management and society. It shows that university-based business schools were founded to train a professional class of managers in the mold of doctors and lawyers but have retreated from that goal.
