Trust and the business school

In the June 2009 issue of Harvard Business Review, Joel Podolny writes about the apparent lack of trust in U.S. business schools in "The Buck Stops (and Starts) at Business School". In order to regain trust, Podolny offers the following recommendations for business schools: foster greater integration; appoint teaching teams; encourage qualitative research; stop competing on rankings; and withdraw degrees for violating codes of conduct.

The June issue of HBR is focused on "trust" and includes several timely articles on related topics.

To locate this article in PDF format through the USF libraries, login to the "Business Source Premier" database and search on "Harvard Business Review" and Podolny. USFSP faculty and students can also set up alerts to receive an email notices of new issues (with citations and embedded links). Drop me a note if you'd like assistance in setting up an e-alert for HBR or other publications or topics.
