Are business schools on the wrong track? For many years, business schools enjoyed rising enrollments, positive media attention, and growing prestige in the business world. However, due to the disruption of Covid-19, many previously ignored issues relating to MBA programs resurfaced. As a result, MBA programs now face lower enrollments and intense criticism for being deficient in preparing future business leaders and ignoring essential topics like ethics, sustainability, and diversity and inclusion. The Future of Business Schools discusses these issues in the context of three critical areas: complexity, sustainability, and destiny

‘In a timely volume, Professors Baldegger, El Tarabishy, Audretsch, Kariv, Passerini, and Tan have demonstrated that the future of business schools is now. Business schools can and should play a critical role in economic and talent development worldwide, and this book shows us the path forward. Filled with strategic and operational insights, this is a book useful for all internal and external business schools stakeholders, including students, faculty, university leaders, alumni, governments, policymakers, and society at large.’
