| Abstract: | Using an institutional perspective, the historical circumstances surrounding the shift from a management as a vocation model to one that is scientifically based, is analyzed in this study. It is argued that prior to World War II, the management education field was fragmented but dominated by vocational model in which specific trade practices and skills were taught. How the institutional field shifted to embrace a model of management education that was tightly linked to empirical research is traced. Using the Academy of Management Journal articles as a marker for the paradigm shift, hypotheses about the diffusion pattern of science-based concepts of management education are tested. |
