Listen "A New Vision for Business Schools"
Episode Synopsis
How can business education evolve to reflect new societal expectations and redefine its true purpose?
Host Eileen McAuliffe, AACSB's executive vice president, chief thought leadership officer, and managing director of EMEA, holds a live, thought-provoking session at the AACSB Deans Conference in Toronto with Andrew J. Hoffman, Holcim (US) Professor of Sustainable Enterprise at the University of Michigan Stephen M. Ross School of Business. The two discuss how today’s business schools have strayed from their original purpose and explore ways they might find their way back to meaning and relevance for a changed world. They examine the following three big questions:
How has the role of business schools changed in society, and where have you seen good examples of schools rejuvenating their curricula to align the power of business with its current role?
How do you see the student-faculty dynamic evolving amid rising program costs and a growing consumerism mindset, and what can business school leaders do to better support that change?
What role do business school deans play in driving the kind of transformation needed to better serve stakeholders and society in general?
