Warren,
I think I see your point well enough, but one thing confuses me. You
said "All of us--academics, consultants, executives--need to be on the
same side of the table. That's not to say we can't pound the table in
disagreement." But you began your diatribe by saying "I have come to
believe that undergraduate business education should be abolished. All
of it." Credibility is difficult to attain when your argument reverses
direction midstream.
I remember your AOM Executive piece and respect your opinions in it.
However, I believe that the current discussion thread indicates that
your prediction, "the rise of in-house corporate universities that would
act as substitutes to provide the relevance that business education
lacked" may not be so clairvoyant. I hear lots of academics trying to
make progress.
