Bonus Session: Introduction to AACSB
Accreditation
Deans of schools who have been through business school accreditation
describe three kinds of values that accreditation can give - a demonstration
of quality to its stakeholders, an increase in the quality of the services
provided and alignment of the staff in a common purpose.
This session will explore the standards, as well
as provide a discussion on the basis for judgment by peer review teams.
Participants will develop an understanding of the process to pursue and
maintain global AACSB International accreditation according to the most
recent set of AACSB standards. The session will also provide an opportunity
for questions and discussion on accreditation issues, current challenges,
and provide a forum for feedback in support of continuous improvement.

Plenary II:
Strategic Leadership in Business Schools
This session will approach the critical challenge of "setting and
executing a clear strategic direction" in Business Schools, considering both
the increasing competition they are facing in an ever changing world and the
particular idiosyncrasy of these academic institutions, where faculty's
autonomy, collegial style of governance and academic freedom are at the core
of their nature. Presenters will talk from their own experience: Claudio
Haddad, President of IBMEC Sao Paolo, former banker, and current member of
different business boards will share his experience in trying to bring
concepts and practices from the business world to academia and the
challenges faced. Fernando Fragueiro, besides his experience as Dean of IAE
Business School (1995-2007), will share the findings of his recently
finished research on "Strategic Leadership in Business Schools", in three
top European institutions: INSEAD, IMD and LBS, under the period 1990-2004.

Plenary III: PhD Shortage in Latin America
This session will present the findings of a recent collaboration

America. The results of the survey, based on data gathered from 33
visits to schools in 7 countries, identified schools doing most of the
training, perceived program benefits, regions with the highest
concentration of programs, commonalities and differences between
programs and ways to promote and encourage growth of Management PhD
programs in Latin America.
