locdogg posted:There used to be some sort of bias against people who spent their entire academic career in the same school, but that was generally for more non-professional degrees (english, philosophy, even some hard science) where 1 on 1 with professors is more the norm. In business school, there usually isn't time to form working relationships with all the professors that could somehow be call in to question academic integrity. I was under the impression this bias was still very real and not due to any questions of integrity, but more a question of academic incest. Basically, by exposing yourself to only one institution, you may be exposing yourself to favoritism for one set of ideas, one wing of dogma, one standard of information, when in reality, those ideas can and should be frequently challenged. By only working with one institution, it's easier to allow your practices, knowledge, and style to become rigid. If you move to a different school, it's easier to maintain flexibility as it will help you learn to work within a completely different system. At least, that's the thinking most people who believe academic incest is a problem (which, admittedly, I believe it can be).
