The world’s top business schools have long debased(贬低，降低身份) themselves by selling certificates to anyone with a computer and some spare cash. Punters(顾客，主顾) can even pay $699 to be coached by AI-generated professors at Harvard Business School. Yet an even cheaper (and similarly prestigious) crash-course(速成课程) on business is available at the sports faculties of Amazon College and the University of Netflix(讽刺亚马逊和奈飞提供教育内容).
全球顶尖商学院长期以来自贬身价，向任何有电脑和闲钱的人兜售证书。顾客甚至可以在哈佛商学院花699美元，接受AI生成的教授辅导。然而，在亚马逊学院和奈飞大学的体育系，还有更便宜（且同样有声望）的商业速成课程。
Sports documentaries are not generally considered part of the management canon(经典，准则). While Clayton Christensen(颠覆性创新理论提出者), a famous business thinker, was writing about “disruptive innovation” in the mid-1990s, British television produced “Graham Taylor: An Impossible Job”, a bleak(阴郁的，无望的) portrait of England’s national football manager. In 2005 a pair of INSEAD professors told bosses to go after “blue ocean(蓝海战略，开创无竞争市场)” markets in a bestselling book. Neil Warnock, another English football manager and the ascetic(苦行僧式的，禁欲的) hero of the documentary “Warnock”, told his players before a match: “By all means(当然可以，务必) enjoy it, but enjoy it by being fucking disciplined.”
体育纪录片通常不被视为管理学经典。当著名商业思想家克莱顿·克里斯滕森在20世纪90年代中期撰写“颠覆性创新”时，英国电视台制作了《格雷厄姆·泰勒：不可能的工作》，一部描绘英格兰国家队主教练的阴郁肖像。2005年，两位欧洲工商管理学院的教授在一本畅销书中告诉老板们去追求“蓝海”市场。另一位英格兰足球经理、纪录片《沃诺克》中苦行僧式的主角尼尔·沃诺克，在赛前对球员说：“尽情享受吧，但要以他妈的自律来享受。”
Nowadays it is business schools that have run out of(用完，耗尽) big ideas and dressing rooms that seem to be full of them. After the pandemic-era success of “Drive to Survive(F1赛车纪录片，奈飞热播)”, a Netflix show following Formula 1 racing teams that is now up to its ninth season, and “The Last Dance(迈克尔·乔丹纪录片)”, a ten-parter about the Chicago Bulls' 1997-98 basketball season, streaming platforms decided that viewers’ appetite(胃口，欲望) for touchline philosophy was unlimited.
如今，是商学院创意枯竭，而更衣室里似乎满是创意。在疫情时代《极速求生》和《最后之舞》大获成功之后——前者是奈飞制作的F1车队纪录片，现已播出第九季；后者是一部关于芝加哥公牛队1997-98赛季的十集纪录片——流媒体平台认定，观众对场边哲学的兴趣是无穷无尽的。
