Stakeholder-Led Stigmatization to Save Business School Status"🧠 Written by Kerttu Kettunen, Andrew Inkpen, Kimmo Alajoutsijärvi, and Ilan Alon, this timely and powerful piece was published on May 22, 2025 in the Academy of Management Learning & Education — a prestigious journal that holds an elite ABDC A★ rating. That’s right — this is the Ivy League of academic publishing. 🏛️📈So, what’s this paper about?It’s about power.It’s about prestige.It’s about the moment a top-tier business school tried to partner with a for-profit university — and its own alumni said no way. 🚫💼💥 This isn’t a story about curriculum. It’s a story about control.Through a compelling case study, the authors show us how alumni — once the proud products of their alma mater — turned into stigmatizers, armed with tweets, status updates, and reputation on the line.They said, “Stop devaluing my degree.”And the institution listened.📲 In a world where stakeholders tweet before they email and reputations crash faster than stock prices, this paper is a wake-up call to every school board, dean, and accreditation body out there.So we ask:❓ When did your degree stop being a credential... and start being a battleground?🙏 A big thank you to the authors — Kettunen, Inkpen, Alajoutsijärvi, and Alon — and to the Academy of Management for publishing this vital work in a journal as respected as it is relevant.💥 If this kind of mind-opening conversation is your jam, don’t forget to subscribe to Revise and Resubmit on Spotify and our YouTube channel: Weekend Researcher 📺.
