British Academy of Management (BAM) Conference 1996

Article Abstract:

The 1996 British Academy of Management Conference in September in the UK drew hundreds of management teachers. One of the highlights of the annual event was the address by Robert Locke, author of 'The Collapse of the American Management Mystique,' where he branded the US' managerial superiority as a myth, as evidenced by the success of countries such as Japan. Locke said the US may be superior in terms of logistics power but is subordinate to many countries in operational ability. He said business schools have failed to remain productive and relevant.
