Abstract
This essay pursues an approach that I call Subjective Personal Introspection (SPI) to comment on my own impressions concerning my experiences over the past fifty-plus years at one of our leading graduate schools of business. Herein, I trace my progress from MBA candidate to doctoral student to faculty member to retiree by suggesting ways in which – from my admittedly idiosyncratic perspective – business education has devolved toward a lower level of academic excellence, an abandonment of scholarly values, an unfortunate anti-intellectualism, a neglect of its commitment to the advancement of business- or marketing-related knowledge for its own sake, and a betrayal of its responsibility to work toward the protection of social welfare. Though the situation seems a bit hopeless, I offer a few modest suggestions for possible improvement.
