Business schools are institutions which, a decade after the financial
crash, continue to act as loudspeakers for neoliberal capitalism with
all its injustices and planetary consequences. In this lively and
incendiary call to action, Martin Parker offers a simple message: shut
down the business school.
Parker argues that business schools are 'cash cows' for the
contemporary university that have produced a generation of
unreflective managers, primarily interested in their own personal
rewards. If we see universities as institutions with responsibilities
to the societies they inhabit, then we must challenge the common
notion that 'the market' should be the primary determinant of the
education they provide.
Shut Down the Business School makes a compelling case for a radical
alternative, in the form of a 'School for Organising'. This
institution would develop and teach on different forms of organising,
instead of reproducing the dominant corporate model, enabling
individuals to discover alternative responses to the pressing issues
of inequality and sustainability faced by all of us today.
