Description

This compendium provides the complete forensic dataset and analytical engine for the 2025–2026 Industrial/Academic Global Factorial Audit. The study utilizes real-time text-mining to evaluate the Strategy-Technology Firm Fit (Phi) across elite MBA and MSc-MOT programs.

The core objective is to identify "Hollow Jurisdictions" in Management of Technology (MOT) education—environments where strategic abstraction is unsupported by anatomic depth or process mastery. This repository supports the manuscript: "The Great Bifurcation: Management Education’s Jurisdictional Usurpation and the De-materialization of Technology."

Methodological Summary: The Phi Index

The Phi Index measures "Firm Fit" through three forensic dimensions:

Al (Anatomic Intensity): Physical and structural grounding (MOT-BOK 1–14).

Pm (Process Mastery): Yield, quality, and manufacturing logic (MOT-BOK 17–25).

Si (Strategic Abstraction): Management models and market capture logic.

Formula: Phi = (Al * Pm) / (Si + 0.001)

Interpretation: A result < 1.0 identifies a "Hollow Jurisdiction," signaling a structural deficit in the program's ability to ground strategy in physical reality.
