AACSB Globalization of Management Education Task
Force Report
Many business schools are entering unfamiliar territory (literally and
figuratively) as they strive to serve as a global market, teach global
perspectives, and engage in globally relevant research and outreach. In this
session, Robert F. Bruner, chair of the AACSB Globalization of Business
Education Task Force, will introduce the task force and offer a preview of
how the task force hopes to help elevate the achievement of business schools
in a global environment. Attendees will be presented with a series of
"cases" that highlight issues business schools are likely to encounter, and
discuss effective and innovative responses to those situations.

Charles C. Abbott professor of Business Administration, Darden Graduate
School of Business Administration, University of Virginia
Global
Management Education: Buyers Beware!
For the past 20 years, management education has celebrated the
unprecedented birth of business schools throughout the world. Numbering more
than 12,000 in over 200 countries, business schools are developing managers
for the world's swiftly diversifying economies. Yet, the unbridled growth in
management education has placed the industry's quality and long-term
credibility in danger. The world's leading business accrediting bodies,
AACSB International and EFMD, together, accredit only 5 percent of business
schools, and nearly all of them are in high-income countries. Ninety-five
percent of the world's business schools are not guided by, and measured
against, global management education standards. In this thought-provoking
dialogue, AACSB and EFMD CEO's John Fernandes and Eric Cornuel, will discuss
the growing risks to quality management education, their potential impacts,
and steps the Global Foundation for Management Education will take to assess
these risks and identify preferred actions by its stakeholders. Participants
will have the opportunity to provide input to, and assist in structuring,
GFME's third major research project, commencing in early 2009.

ceo, AACSB International
Student Initiatives - "Forming the Leaders
of Tomorrow"
The current state of cross-institutional, cross-organizational affairs
should be challenged against the demanding context of the world today. We
need to rethink the foundation and the basis upon which we develop and
utilize interactions with other organizations. The context of competition is
not the one to secure competitive advantage
−
we need to compliment our potential with the one of other organizations
across sectors in order to achieve another level of value-proposition to our
stakeholders. IE and AIESEC are organizations that have been trying to align
their efforts towards social impact, entering into collaboration which
compliments each other's contribution.

AIESEC International

Plenary II: Global Textbook Projects
The Global Text Project is a multi-faceted educational endeavour. The
prime goal is to create a free library of 1,000 electronic textbooks for
university students in the developing world. The library will cover the
range of topics typically encountered in a comprehensive university's
undergraduate programs. There are two secondary goals. First, we are
engaging students in the continuous improvement and globalization of texts
through Student Quality Circles. Second, we are building a community of
student volunteers to help with the production and marketing of books. In
the process, students learn and create value for other students.

Plenary V: "The
Trends and Needs of Companies −
Why it is Important and What is Pushing it above and Beyond?"
Two of IESE's Executive Education clients will share their vision with
respect to what they think is important to consider when looking for a
provider. What do they look for in a school? what do they see as the pros
and cons to a consortium of executive education partners? Why would they
choose to partner with one institution versus another? The session will
explore their philosophy as far as programs being content relevant and with
measurable results and what they feel are the important differences between
open and custom programs.
