Do business school professors need business experience?
Many #PhDs / #DBA's end up in teaching and/or academic business research.
Both are different areas.

For teaching, you have to have practical experiences that you are supposed to share with the classroom.
Many corporate world leaders are the most sought after when it comes to teaching business courses in an #MBA program!

Most of these corporate bigwigs don't have Doctorate degrees, but, even then, universities would like to bring them on board because they have an adequate amount of insights.

It should be noted that teaching to an #MBA classroom is different compared to other courses which are offered by universities across their Business, #Economics and Finance Faculties.

For e.g.= >
If the lecturer is being asked to teach Quantitative Risk or AS or Financial Engineering in an MSc /MS /MPhil program, he or she must possess a doctorate in a #STEM-based subject, Financial Mathematics or any other Statistical Computing Area.

However, in the case of case studies dominated degree programs such as the #MBA, the lecturer or tutor must have practical and empirical knowledge of what needs to be delivered to the students over the semester.

#MBA's students are expected to take up corporate positions!
Hence having proper #corporate world knowledge and background is a must for the #Adjunct faculty member.

The pedantic methodology of instruction and the degree program and its level determines the overall qualification requirements set by the university.
#MBA Degree(which is a professional degree) is not equal to an MS /MSc /MA /MPhil degree.

For research positions, the candidate must have an adequate research degree in a given field such as MPhil or PhD or Postdoctoral degrees such as the DSc / DLitt.
