New Perspectives on Management Education

Are business universities and schools silent partners in crime. Have they been hijacked by the elites. Are they turning into mere recruitment platforms. Can and should they be character gyms. How can they evolve to their next level. This book presents and discusses new perspectives on management education offered by the business universities and schools. The authors critically review the value creation processes and suggest innovative ways forward. Business schools need to walk the talk. This book offers fresh insights on how schools can evolve further. Peter Lorange Former President of IMD President of the Lorange Institute of Business Zurich
