Misinformation Is a Matter of Context: Rejoinder to “The Menace of Misinformation: Faculty Misstatements in Management Education and Their Consequences”
The notion that we as business faculty are misleading students is on the surface shocking but in deeper thought not misguided. While Giacalone and Promislo present a compelling argument for how and why business schools do not present the full picture to students, their discussion lacks in embracing the situations faced by all students. In this rejoinder to their article, the demographics of today’s students and their desires from higher education are added to the discussion along with an examination of hiring policies that seem to be negatively affecting the message business students are receiving.
