Q9 to Q12:

Behavior science courses should
            

be gaining prominence in business

school curricula. Recent theoretical

Line work convincingly shows why behav-

(5) ioral factors such as organizational

culture and employee relations are

among the few remaining sources of

sustainable competitive advantage in

modern organizations. Furthermore,

(10) empirical evidence demonstrates

clear linkages between human

resource (HR) practices based in

the behavioral sciences and various

aspects of a firm’s financial success.

(15) Additionally, some of the world’s most

successful organizations have made

unique HR practices a core element

of their overall business strategies.

Yet the behavior sciences

(20) are struggling for credibility in many

business schools. Surveys show

that business students often regard

behavioral studies as peripheral to

the mainstream business curriculum.

(25) This perception can be explained by

the fact that business students, hoping

to increase their attractiveness to

prospective employers, are highly

sensitive to business norms and

(30) practices, and current business

practices have generally been

moving away from an emphasis on

understanding human behavior and

toward more mechanistic organiza-

(35) tional models. Furthermore, the

status of HR professionals within

organizations tends to be lower

than that of other executives.

Students’ perceptions would

(40) matter less if business schools

were not increasingly dependent on

external funding—form legislatures,

businesses, and private foundations—

for survival. Concerned with their

(45) institutions’ ability to attract funding,

administrators are increasingly tar-

geting low-enrollment courses and

degree programs for elimination.

Q9:

The primary purpose of the passage is to

propose a particular change to business school curricula characterize students’ perceptions of business school curricula predict the consequences of a particular change in business school curricula challenge one explanation for the failure to adopt a particular change in business school curricula identify factors that have affected the prestige of a particular field in business school curricula
