How to become a business school professor? There are actually many steps that you have to take to become a professor.

First of all, you try to understand why you want to become a professor? if it is to teach, there's many more lucrative opportunities that are less difficult to obtain than to be become a college business professor. I would recommend other careers, like software development, public speaking, consulting, or other things along those lines.

What are the steps to become a Business School Professor?

You need to choose your focus as a business school professor. If you are thinking of becoming more of teaching faculty, I would recommend that you just get an MBA and teach in community college. If you are thinking of becoming an administrator, such as a Dean, than you have get either a PhD in Business Administration, or a DBA, but a PhD is more mainstream. Some people go into administrative rolls that don’t have doctorate, but this becoming less common. If you are thinking of doing research, which is the most common reason to become a business school professor, than you should think about getting a PhD in Business Administration in a top research school.
You need to pick a research focus. You need to understand what you are interested in and start working with a senior professor to advance this research stream. You need to demonstrate that you are serious about research.
You will need to put in 3-10 years of research to get top research publications. The entry point and the currency in most business schools is research publications. You will have to have at least several on the go (revise and resubmit, or accepted) to become a business school professor. Some people and fields take longer to get these publications, so make sure that you ask your senior level professor.
You need to apply to many business schools for jobs. You will either have to apply to many business school positions or know of people that are in your research area. Be aware that business school professor jobs are fairly rare, so you will have to travel to many parts of the world before you find a position that fits you.
You need to be persistent. The biggest predictor of this career is simple persistence and hard work. Those that stick with this career the longest and put the most amount of work in this career are the ones that reap the largest reward. It absolutely makes sense that Full Professors are in demand all over the world - it is very difficult to get, and they command a fair bit of respect by others who try to get there. By the way, full professors in business school generally have 20-25 years of higher education.

(If you did not know, there is a ladder in academic. Indeed, academia made of a bunch of ladders. However, the pecking order goes assistant, than associate, and than full professor. Each one of these distinctions take about 5-10 years to obtain each.

David Maslach is a research professor of entrepreneurship, innovation, and business strategy, I discuss topics, such as behavioral science, strategy, innovation, and entrepreneurship, and apply these to my new peer proofreading and editing platform. Topics include the sharing economy, altruism, investing in technology, starting a business, and bounded rationality. My favorite videos pertain to incentives, goal setting, and learning from failure to drive behaviors such as weight loss, stopping telemarketers, creating novel technologies, and creating new movements.

A new platform where you can earn credits by editing other people's documents. Use these credits to have your own work edited. If you do a good enough job, you can convert these credits to money.

The goal of the platform is to get people to 'pay it forward' and help other people out by creating incentives for people to give back.
