Business Academics

I study commerce in NUI Galway. The business faculty here is jam packed with professors etc. who have been working as academics for 30+ years having never once worked in the 'real' business world. The students they teach generally have more relevant work experience than them. It's almost comical to hear them discuss certain things and you can clearly see it's just theory to them.

This just seems like a crazy concept when teaching a subject/area that is so experience based. Business Analytics professors talking about how the old techniques from 20 years ago are still the best, likely just because that is what there professor told them.
