Summary:

Business education and the academy's relationship to professional and commercial practices have gained significant importance, especially in the wake of recent corporate scandals and financial crisis. One of the ways by which the academy has sought to demonstrate its impact and relevance to community is through a third-party independent checks of quality, in the form of business schools and programs accreditation. While keywords such as impact, relevance, innovation are central to the various accreditation standards, their operationalization as well as impact remains largely unknown. While there has been numerous calls to strengthen the academy's link to the business world, little research has questioned the relevance and impact of business education and research on the business community at large after the prevalence of accreditation trends amongst business schools from bodies such as AACSB, AMBA, and EQUIS.
