Comments on: Why Business Ignores the Business Schools http://organizationsandmarkets.com/2008/01/10/why-business-ignores-the-business-schools/ Economics of organizations, strategy, entrepreneurship, innovation, and more Wed, 03 Dec 2008 22:10:56 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=MU hourly 1 By: Gary Peters http://organizationsandmarkets.com/2008/01/10/why-business-ignores-the-business-schools/#comment-68310 Gary Peters Fri, 11 Jan 2008 16:10:38 +0000 http://organizationsandmarkets.com/2008/01/10/why-business-ignores-the-business-schools/#comment-68310 Michael expresses an Interesting, although not new, opinion. I'm with Peter on overstating "the close relationship between research and practice in medicine." More so, because I think the comparison is bad. Although, I suppose one could say the research analogy is comparing what makes people sick (and die) to what makes companies lose money (and fail). However, it is not clear to me that a company can take a "pill" to become profitable. Michael's right about one thing, if I had the "pill" I would not waste it on an academic journal (which I suppose proves his point). (And yes, I know medical research is a world more than finding "pills". That was just one example.) Michael expresses an Interesting, although not new, opinion.
