Business schools are arguably some of the most influential institutions in contemporary society, heavily influencing the way much socioeconomic activity is conducted. The education they provide is an important theme to be considered in its own right – and perhaps even challenged.
This exciting book explores the role of business schools in contemporary global society through 3 key dimensions:
- How business school legitimacy has been challenged by the recent economic crisis and corporate scandals;
- How business schools contribute to shaping and transforming business conduct; and
- How business schools, past and present, develop their identities to face the challenges presented by the ongoing globalization process.
Combing perspectives from business school Deans from around the world, as well as scholars and business leaders, this book presents a unique discussion of the current and future challenges facing business schools today.
