Abstract

Despite their many achievements, business schools are criticised for prioritising the achievement of outcomes, such as revenue and rankings, over the pursuit of their purpose. Acknowledging the inherent variation among the world's many business schools, most were created with some idea of enhancing the public good by nurturing the management profession and conducting related scholarship. As business schools display inertia while corporations change to pursue purpose, a rift is emerging between the interests of participants in the business school industry. The P-School category comprises a diverse combination of seven business schools based at the universities of: Birmingham, Cardiff, Glasgow Caledonian, University of Arts London, Manchester, Queen Mary University of London, and Queen's Belfast.
