Institutional theory predicts that individuals and organizations are prone to mimic other actors within their sphere such that one unit in a population will increasingly resemble others. While institutional theory has been used to examine a wide range of organizational phenomenon at various levels of analysis, including the professions and educational institutions, it has rarely been applied to schools of management and business and the principal actors – faculty – who represent and govern those institutions. In this panel, senior leaders and scholars will reflect and share their perspectives on how the institutional context, including the fundamental context of management education institutions – especially business schools themselves – affects the questions management scholars ask and the "answers" that emanate from those questions.
