Khurana, Rakesh. “From Higher Aims to Hired Hands: The Social Transformation of American Business Schools and the Unfulfilled Promise of Management as a Profession.” From Higher Aims to Hired Hands, Princeton Univ. Press, 2007 I’m reading this book which talks about how business schools lost their purpose and shareholder primacy upended attempts to add professionalism to management. The success of shareholder primacy fed back into the business schools and displaced any broader social missions that exist in the professional fields such as engineering, medicine, and law. Instead, fiduciary responsibility blasts through the greater good. It’s very dense and full of jargon so it takes time to unpack, but it appears to be a very well researched book.
