Abstract

Every important problem in business—and in life—is essentially a management problem. Our prime intent is to improve business schools so that all of us can better deal with the complexities of today’s world. This chapter presents the central argument of the book. It consists of three main parts: (1) the intellectual content of business schools, (2) the mindset that business schools inculcate in their students and faculty, and the kinds of psychology that are taught in them, and finally, (3) the philosophical underpinnings of business schools. In brief, we are concerned with the intellectual, emotional, and philosophical foundations of business schools.
