About Nothing Succeeds Like Failure: The Sad History of American Business Schools (Histories of American Education)

Do business schools actually make good on their promises of and “innovative, and ” and “outside-the-box and ” thinking to train business leaders who will put society ahead of money-making? Do they help society by making better business leaders? No, they don’t, Steven Conn asserts, and what’s more they never have. In throwing down a gauntlet on the business of business schools, Conn’s Nothing Succeeds Like Failure examines the frictions, conflicts, and contradictions at the heart of these enterprises and details the way business schools have failed to resolve them. Beginning with founding of the Wharton School in 1881, Conn measures these schools’ aspirations against their actual accomplishments and tells the full and disappointing history of missed opportunities, unmet aspirations, and educational mistakes. Conn then poses a set of crucial questions about the role and function of American business schools. The results aren’t pretty. Posing a set of crucial questions about the function of American business schools, Nothing Succeeds Like Failure is pugnacious and controversial. Deeply researched and fun to read, Nothing Succeeds Like Failure argues that the impressive facades of business school buildings resemble nothing so much as collegiate versions of Oz. Conn pulls back the curtain to reveal a story of failure to meet the expectations of the public, their missions, their graduates, and their own lofty aspirations of producing moral and ethical business leaders.
