Bulldoze the Business Schools?

13 June 2018

University of Bristol academic Martin Parker made waves last month with his article on business schools. Like a biologist who ignores all life forms that aren’t zebras, he said, business schools ignore the diversity of organisational forms, including co-ops.

BCCM found the same when it commissioned an audit of university education in 2014. We are working to change this with some successes – there is now a graduate course in co-ops available at the University of Newcastle and an executive leadership course run by UWA and AIM WA.
