From Times Higher Education,
In a chilly economic climate, business schools’ ability to deliver research with real-world relevance is essential. Tracey Hudson asks whether they can find the right academics to deliver those goals
“Because of this shortage, many business schools are adopting a model of education that de-emphasises the role of research professors and substitutes others who are not primarily researcher-teachers. Until PhD programmes increase in number and output, this worldwide trend will continue,” he says.
One of the biggest challenges faced by higher education institutions around the globe is the continuing shortage not of academics, but of the right kind of academics. And nowhere is the challenge greater than in one of the fastest-growing areas of the academic world – the international business school community.
According to Paul Danos, dean of the Tuck School of Business at Dartmouth College in New Hampshire, “there is a continuing shortage of PhD-trained professors, which is causing cost escalation for the very best”.
