Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

How do CEOs and academics differ in how they view academic research? We survey a sample of CEOs and business-school academics to measure their views on each other and on academic research. We explore differences between these two groups with an experimental beauty contest game (EBC) and by asking how much they value and trust different business disciplines, data types, and academic methodologies. We observe, in the EBC, that both CEOs and academics similarly hold relatively lower expectations about the reasoning abilities of CEOs than academics. While CEOs and academics both tend to trust company-specific data and simpler, more scientific methodologies, the groups differ in the value they place on disciplines that address CEOs’ duties and business specific methodologies. Together, our results shed new light on the disconnect between academic research and practitioners and indicate areas where that gap can be improved.

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
