Business research and Chinese patriotic poetry: how competition for status distorts the priority between research and teaching in U.S. business schools
Competition for status among U.S. business schools has obliterated any evident connection between research productivity and the furtherance of any praiseworthy social, practical, or intellectual values. Status competition virtually guarantees: (1) the absence of a demonstrable connection between the amount of research produced and the amount that is actually needed or usable; (2) the excessive uniformity and practical irrelevance of business research, owing to the subordination of substantive problems to methodological commitments; and (3) the subordination of teaching to research. The overproduction of research, while irrational on a collective level, is in fact the aggregated product of "rational" behaviors by individual schools and faculty members facing pressures to compete with one another. Three kinds of reforms are proposed: (1) to challenge, and even subject to ridicule, academic norms and language produced and sustained by status competition; (2) to consider an alternative, practice-oriented conception of scholarship to the dominant "research-centered" conception of mainstream business scholarship; and (3) to reduce, if not entirely eliminate, faculty rewards for maximizing research "productivity.".Printed Journal
