Episode Synopsis

From executive education to AI innovation, explore the financial models redefining business schools.
Host Eileen McAuliffe, AACSB's executive vice president, chief thought leadership officer, and managing director of EMEA, discusses innovation in business school financing with Serguei Netessine, senior vice dean for innovation and global initiatives and a professor at the University of Pennsylvania’s Wharton School. She asks three big questions:

What are the limitations of the traditional business school model in adapting to major global shifts, such as changing demographics, a volatile economy, and geopolitical uncertainties?
How can deeper engagement with industry and external partners help business schools diversify revenue streams, without compromising their academic mission?
What is the potential for AI to reshape how business schools create and deliver value to students, employers, and society?
