Abstract: Abstract The ‘business school’ is a unique American invention that, over the last 50 years, has become not only firmly institutionalised within the US university system, but now serves as its financial heart. The immense success of American business schools is attested to by swelling numbers of university students who major in business administration, and by lines of companies queueing up to hire their graduates. University professors outside the ubiquitous business school have learned to tolerate begrudgingly this ‘commercial eyesore’ because they know that its tuition revenues subsidise deficit ridden courses in Greek and history.
