The Doctoral Faculty Shortage—Light at the End of the Tunnel
There is no greater threat to the future of quality management education than
the growing business doctoral faculty shortage. For the last decade and a half,
management education has witnessed dwindling doctoral program graduates while
the world’s student population has exploded. For most business schools seeking
global recognition and AACSB accreditation, the doctoral faculty shortage is the
most difficult challenge in their journey to excellence. With more than 12,000
business schools in over 200 countries and an estimated 2,000 doctorates
graduating from AACSB-accredited schools last year, I worry about the state of
management education ten and twenty years from now. [more]
