Special issue on the future of business education and the business schools?
Article Type: Call for papers From: Education + Training, Volume 53, Issue 6
The phenomenal growth and development of business education and the business schools has continued unabated for the last 100 years or more. Today business education is a large and influential part of the university and college establishment.
However, the influence of business education on the economy and wider society remains in doubt. Concerns include:
- •
the limited relevance of the academic emphasis of business education to relevance and practice
- •
the failure to integrate analysis in any meaningful way in addressing business problems
- •
the contrary view that the business schools have compromised their independence and objectivity in their attempt to be useful to business
- •
the lack of any moral compass in business education and failure to understand the interface between business, government and society
- •
the failure to come to terms with externalities, and the analysis of markets disembodied from their social, political and environmental context.
This special issue of Education + Training is interested in receiving papers on:
- •
the contemporary transformation of the business curriculum
- •
new modes of questioning and delivery
- •
surveying challenges for the theory and practice of business education
- •
critical analysis of the roles and responsibilities of business schools.
- •
ducationþTraining uses an online submission system.
