| Abstract | Business School legitimacy is subject to ongoing debate and stakeholder pressures resulting from evolving socio-economic and political conditions. Increasing societal demands for sustainability and inclusion – joined by technological developments such as digitisation and generative AI – have led to calls for more meaningful teaching and research that creates value at the intersection of personal, institutional and societal interests and generates positive impact for the common good. However, socio-material confines imposed by Business Schools’ corporatist legitimacy continue to shape academic behaviour, as most academics avoid challenging existing institutional structures. |
