From Higher Aims to Hired Hands: The Social Transformation of American Business Schools and the Unfulfilled Promise of Management as a Profession

摘要

Rakesh Khurana has written an ambitious book, a complex, historically based argument that attempts to explain the failure of American business schools to professionalize the occupation of management. Ultimately, his argument may not entirely convince the reader, but in making the case, Khurana not only forces the reader to think more deeply about the purpose of business schools in the United States, but also provides the best general history ever written about this American institution.
