Important changes in business and business education 2010 and beyond

• The financial crisis - the end of the era of non-regulated markets?

• Emerging markets – the US/European hegemony on setting the rules is coming to an end

• Ecological pressures and green issues – the greening of the planet will soon be center-stage.

• Business education needs a ‘more exalted mission’.

• Learning from history – we have a tendency to move on and forget.

New challenges: post-crisis business schools

• Teaching students to understand risk

• Increasing importance of regulation, government and governance – business graduates need to be equipped for public sector positions as well as corporations

New challenges: emerging markets

• Need for emerging markets to be producers of knowledge, not just consumers

• Need to create valuable research – within traditional paradigms? Or using new ideas?

• What can Europe and US researchers learn from the rest of the world? How can that knowledge get captured and disseminated?

• Need for emerging markets cases

New challenges: green issues

• Understanding implications of putting a price on carbon – a whole new set of accounting rules

• Management of climate change, not just the science of it. Engineers and scientists need entrepreneurs, policy-makers and managers

• Should green issues be on an MBA curriculum?

New challenges: a more exalted mission

• Teaching and researching in business needs to be about more than ‘just’ business

• Sustainability, ethics

• There are big issues in the world – poverty, conflict, congestion…how does business education address them?

New challenges: learning from history

• Business history will become an expected study at business schools?

• Multi-disciplinary research and study – what do we expect in the way we accredit business schools and judge research?
