“This important and sobering collection of essays on the modern business school will provoke debate and may inspire needed change. If you believe, as I do, that today’s professional schools have an obligation to help address society’s most pressing challenges through the pursuit of actionable research and practical education, you will find much value in this book.” —Amy C. Edmondson, Professor, Harvard Business School, USA “Provocative in parts but nonetheless evoking questions for business school leaders to reflect upon in deciding what to change to regain legitimacy where deemed lost; or what to retain to defend the status quo where deemed apt. Brilliant!” —Enase Okonedo, Professor, Vice-Chancellor, Pan-Atlantic University, Lagos, Nigeria “Business schools have become a key part of the landscape of contemporary higher education. However, their role is proving increasingly controversial. This book demonstrates why this is so and what needs to change. This book takes us to the heart of the problems business schools face which are, alas, very much of their own making.” —Ken Starkey, Professor of Management and Organisational Learning, Nottingham University Business School, UK This book channels the debate on the relevance, value, and future of business schools. Could the Business School be like the Titanic, thought to be unsinkable, but ultimately doomed? Or is it a ship which can adapt to the changing waters it sails in? In this book, authors from around the world debate the current and future legitimacy of the Business School from different contexts and perspectives. While some see very little or no hope at all to the future of the Business School as a legitimate center for research and education, others remain critical, but see a way forward to rectify today’s concerns, such as around sustainability and inclusivity.
