1959 Carnegie and Ford Foundation reports

Severely criticized United States business school education. In general: Academics teaching there were a joke as

scholars The curricula offered was terrible The caliber of students was appalling

Their recommendations led to a much greater (and still controversial) emphasis on scholarly research and knowledge development by business school faculty.

The impacts…..

Haven’t stayed with the US or North America

For example, consider one of the changes in European management education in recent decades …

European shift in research emphases (Earlier) the dominant model focused on

teaching and local influence, or professors’ careers were a mixture of teaching and consulting.

Internationalization meant a change was required in this model towards a focus on research: international faculty wanted and needed to do research in order to maintain their value in international markets

This set is motion a number of changes in universities, e.g. more pay for faculty.

(Ricard, In Press)

Emphases on research and knowledge production and

acquisition…. Are not confined to the US and Europe Are not confined to academics conducting

scholarly research For example, organizations are knowledge creators Knowledge is now becoming the factor of

production, sidelining both capital and labour, Peter Drucker

This conference includes an emphasis on knowledge

Thus....

As a consequence:

Demand for business school faculty capable of scholarship is increasing globally.

Globally, the number of business doctoral programs and of business doctorates produced is increasing.

Page 8: THE GLOBAL TRAVELS OF TWO 1959 REPORTS Jean M. Bartunek Boston College Thanks to Terese Loncar (Academy of Management), Livi Rodrigues RSCJ and Daphne

Doctoral degrees in management are currently awarded in 47 countries.

Nine of these, China, Ghana, India, Morocco, Pakistan and the Philippines are classified as “developing nations”

Page 9: THE GLOBAL TRAVELS OF TWO 1959 REPORTS Jean M. Bartunek Boston College Thanks to Terese Loncar (Academy of Management), Livi Rodrigues RSCJ and Daphne

However…

The development of a research culture within business schools is just starting in many countries.

The (sometimes mandated) teaching load is very high, especially in many developing countries

Business schools still have a number of faculty without a doctoral degree and/or substantial research capabilities.

My understanding of the situation in India

US and European emphases on research often require a more leisurely time-table than India provides in its institutes of higher education

Teaching/Lecturing/Tutoring and consulting tend to be the primary faculty activities

Aspects of management education which are becoming more crucial in India include Ethics, Risk Management and Crisis Management. (It isn’t clear that there is adequate attention to these.)

Some international development in the AOM

• In recent years “international” membership in the AOM has increased, on average, by 7.2% per year; nearly triple the growth rate of U.S. membership

• The Academy has about 550 members in 33 different “developing nations”.

• This represents a growth in membership of over 200% the past 10 – 12 years.

• The majority are in India and China.

Some “global” initiatives in which the Academy of

Management participates AOM efforts have included support for the development of

regional affiliates in Asia, Africa and Iberoamerica, membership assistance for Chinese scholars and access to best papers for translation and dissemination.

AOM Connect offers native language community building. The Academy participates in JSTOR’s Africa Access Initiative In January 2013 the Academy will hold a second

conference, in Johannesburg, with plans to support the attendance of African scholars

This brings many new learnings… One is that efforts like the EAM-I

meetings are very important and valuable
