  • 1.  Reference for the importance of "faculty as teacher in management education"

    Posted 04-13-2018 02:48

    Dear colleagues

    I am preparing a speech for the international association of Chinese management research (www.iacmr.org) on the topic of "faculty as teacher" in management education. I believe that the importance of faculty as teacher is vastly under emphasized and even neglected in many business schools. Because of the "publish or perish" pressure, we see some faculty care virtually only about their publications, and grossly neglected their role as an educator. Can any one point me to relevant studies or references on this topic?

    Dear Neng,

     

    What kind of references are you looking for?

    There is some literature supporting the argument that academics emphasise research over teaching, for example, Fernando & Cohen (2015).

    Fernando, W.D.A. and Cohen, L., 2016. Exploring career advantages of highly skilled migrants: a study of Indian academics in the UK. The International Journal of Human Resource Management, 27(12), pp.1277-1298.

     

    One of the reasons for that might be in the hiring practices, explored here:

    Callie, T.M. and Cheslock, J.J., 2008. The hiring and compensation practices of business school deans. The Review of Higher Education, 32(1), pp.25-49.

     

    There is also extensive literature on the relationship between research and teaching, for example, works by Hattie & Marsh

    Hattie, J. and Marsh, H.W., 2004, March. One journey to unravel the relationship between research and teaching. In Research and teaching: Closing the divide? An International Colloquium (pp. 18-19).

    Marsh, H.W. and Hattie, J., 2002. The relation between research productivity and teaching effectiveness: Complementary, antagonistic, or independent constructs?. The Journal of Higher Education, 73(5), pp.603-641.

     

    Hope that helps,

    Dear Neng:

    In addition to the references already provided, I would suggest reviewing some of the critiques of management education that address faculty and teaching issues as part of curricular and structural challenges in management education. Many are studies in book form that cover a lot of ground, but some shorter articles echo or summarize the research. They go back many years . . . i.e., what you are interested in is a persistent issue. Here are a few items to look at if you have time:

    Khurana, Rakesh, 2010. From Higher aims to Hired Hands. Princeton University Press.

    Bennis, W. and O'Toole, J, "How Business Schools Lost Their Way," HBR, May 2005 makes some similar points, very short.

    Alluto, J., "Issues Affecting Business Schools: A Dean's Perspective," Selections: The Magazine of the Graduate Management Admissions Council," Autumn 1991. If you can find it, survey highlighting differences between administrative and faculty goals. I can send a summary if needed; still relevant.

    Porter, L., and McKibbin, 1988.  Management Education and Development: Drift or Thrust into the 21st Century, NY: McGraw-Hill (GMAT study). As a side-note, Porter was a research assistant on a similar study done 30 years earlier, listed below. 

    Gordon, R., and Howell, J., Higher Education for Business, 1959, Ford Foundation/Columbia University Press and Pierson, F., The Education of American Businessmen, McGraw-Hill, 1958. These were somewhat competing studies, selectively used and interpreted at the time, largely considered the turning point to the current research focus. 

    It might also be useful to search Academy of Management Learning and Education and Journal of Management Education, which occasionally publish broadly relevant articles. Books such as Roger Martin's Future of the MBA and Henry Mintzberg's Managers Not MBAs take a future-oriented look at curriculum and its implications for teaching.

    While I teach management and also do faculty development, I am a historian of higher education specializing in research universities and professional education, so feel free to contact me with any questions on any of the above.

    Dear Neng , Jane and Colleagues

    Very interesting discussion indeed! I thought of giving one more input - the priority of focus on Teaching or Research also appears to be Country specific. As an example , while in US B-Schools it is mostly about Research and publications ,  in India , it has traditionally been primarily Teaching. In fact the focus on Research is just happening now in India , due to International Accreditation requirements and the increasing exposure of Indian B-Schools to international Management education. In fact , in India , the discussion would probably be around "Faculty as a RESEARCHER in Management Education"!

    Nilay,

         You are correct. I moderated and provided analysis on a debate while in India November 26-December 3, 2017 during the ICMC (India Conference on Management Cases) held at Birla Institute of Technology a top B School on the topic of the Value of B Schools amongst the Novice (students) and the Wise (Professors). It was enlightening. For more information follow me on twitter #wtcousar 

        Another concern as a faculty member who is a global scholar that teaches business and management introductory courses, is that millineals are relying on social media postings when performing research and the misleading unverified "fake news" that is absent of management evidence based research. I have had to address this in lectures and correct information shared by students in courses. 

    Best,

  • 8.  Reference for the importance of "faculty as teacher in management education"

    Posted 04-16-2018 12:11
    Good point, Nilay. I have found, for example, that some countries incentivize (i.e., require) their faculty to participate in faculty development  to improve teaching (I think of it more as continuing education, as the professions do) than others. This of course is focused on quality, not motivation to teach, which are two different issues.

    Neng, there is very little on how business schools are incentivizing change. Here is one article from the early '90s on a formal university-wide initiative. http://www.nea.org/assets/img/PubThoughtAndAction/TAA_95Fal_02.pdf
     
    Most efforts are informal rather than structural: some offer money for curricular innovation; some offer awards. They tend to be pursued by those already interested in teaching, in my experience, and need to be carefully designed so as not to be just another personal perk (e.g., to buy a software program, or fund one's own research).

    Recruiting, staffing, and rewards are largely within faculty control (chairs and deans are faculty), making change very difficult; it is even more difficult if a dean is effectively cut off from curricular and teaching decisions, as at one major research university I taught at. Tenure limits the effectiveness of incentives to teach among those who are not interested in doing more.  Culture change, through recruiting and then ultimately the promotion model, is the most likely route to increasing interest in teaching: the institution will need to shift from prioritizing journal research, as it does now, to a more balanced view of faculty activity, and recruit and reward those who share that view. The complexity of such large change efforts and the way in which rankings are currently constructed are probably why the teaching/research disconnect has persisted for so long. On research priority, see:
    Gomez, L. and Balkin, D., 2017. Determinants of Faculty Pay: An Agency Theory Perspective. Academy of Management Journal, 35:5
    The hand-wringing over teaching permeates the university--it is not limited to business schools. So perhaps, with leadership, there will be a pendulum swing.

Because of the "publish or perish" pressure, we see some faculty care virtually only about their publications, and grossly neglected their role as an educator. Can any one point me to relevant studies or references on this topic?

  • 9.  Reference for the importance of "faculty as teacher in management education"

    Dear Neng,

        I recommend the book chapter Tisby-Cousar, W. and Mitchell. B. (2017). Publish or Perish: Unleashing Knowledge with the End User in Mind. Editors A.K.Dey and Tojo Thatchenkery. India: Bloomsbury Publishing. Retrieved from https://www.bloomsbury.com/in/advances-in-social-change-leadership-and-organizational-decision-making-9789387471344/

    The chapter was well received and the authors were invited to publish in the International Journal of Entrepreneurship and Innovation as a result and is in progress. I have also copied the editors and conference chair and co-chair for more information on getting the book and the upcoming conference.

    Dear Neng:

    In addition to the references already provided, I would suggest reviewing some of the critiques of management education that address faculty and teaching issues as part of curricular and structural challenges in management education. Many are studies in book form that cover a lot of ground, but some shorter articles echo or summarize the research. They go back many years . . . i.e., what you are interested in is a persistent issue. Here are a few items to look at if you have time:

    Khurana, Rakesh, 2010. From Higher aims to Hired Hands. Princeton University Press.

    Bennis, W. and O'Toole, J, "How Business Schools Lost Their Way," HBR, May 2005 makes some similar points, very short.

    Alluto, J., "Issues Affecting Business Schools: A Dean's Perspective," Selections: The Magazine of the Graduate Management Admissions Council," Autumn 1991. If you can find it, survey highlighting differences between administrative and faculty goals. I can send a summary if needed; still relevant.

    Porter, L., and McKibbin, 1988.  Management Education and Development: Drift or Thrust into the 21st Century, NY: McGraw-Hill (GMAT study). As a side-note, Porter was a research assistant on a similar study done 30 years earlier, listed below. 

    Gordon, R., and Howell, J., Higher Education for Business, 1959, Ford Foundation/Columbia University Press and Pierson, F., The Education of American Businessmen, McGraw-Hill, 1958. These were somewhat competing studies, selectively used and interpreted at the time, largely considered the turning point to the current research focus. 

    It might also be useful to search Academy of Management Learning and Education and Journal of Management Education, which occasionally publish broadly relevant articles. Books such as Roger Martin's Future of the MBA and Henry Mintzberg's Managers Not MBAs take a future-oriented look at curriculum and its implications for teaching.

    While I teach management and also do faculty development, I am a historian of higher education specializing in research universities and professional education, so feel free to contact me with any questions on any of the above. 

    Regards,
    Jane Robbins, PhD
