Description
Nothing Succeeds Like Failure: The Sad History of American Business Schools by Steven Conn explores the often-disappointing reality behind the ideals of business education in the United States. From its founding in 1881, the Wharton School has been a prime example of how aspirations and accomplishments have frequently fallen short.
Conn's book delves into the history of American business schools, examining their successes and failures, and poses crucial questions about their role and function. A deeply researched and engaging read, Nothing Succeeds Like Failure sheds light on the often-overlooked stories of missed opportunities, unmet aspirations, and educational mistakes.
With a critical eye, Conn reveals the complexities and contradictions at the heart of these institutions, challenging readers to consider whether business schools truly live up to their promises. This thought-provoking history is both informative and entertaining, offering a nuanced understanding of the American business school system.
