Abstract

In this research note, we contend that the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business accreditation should be viewed and planned with a much careful and long-term perspective due to the large amount of resources committed. Schools and colleges of business should not be merely joining the wasteful race for accreditation without a careful evaluation of its strategy. We speculate that some schools have unrealistic expectations about the benefits of the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business accreditation which leads to a favorable bias toward being accredited. Over the periods of 1992 ~ 1999, the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business accredited member schools represent a large yet declining percentage of providers of management education as they lost market share to non-accredited schools and for-profit providers, while at the same time, a tremendous growth in the number of accredited members/programs was observed due to the change to a mission-driven accrediting policy. These two contradictory trends suggest that a timely effort of a careful and comprehensive analysis of the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business accreditation is needed
