Abstract
This paper presents stories to describe the personal and social lifeworlds of ‘Bill’, a typical academic employed in an autonomous graduate school of business in 2002-2003. The stories are based on interviews with 21 academics in three autonomous graduate schools of business. This is the first stage in a two stage longitudinal research study investigating the tensions between academic values and the corporatisation of higher education. The second stage of the research is currently being undertaken and will be incorporated into the final paper, hence the paper concludes with the issues to be examined in the second stage of the project.
