Plenary IV:
What are the Needs of Global Business? A business perspective.
There has been much debate of late as to whether
(or indeed, how) management educators have lost their way – are graduates
properly prepared for today’s globalized business environment? Does business
want “thinkers or doers”? What is the best mix of theory and practice? If
business educators are to respond effectively to the needs of global
business, they must first determine what these needs are. This requires
strategic and two-way interaction between business schools and members of
the business industry and professional communities – both nationally and
internationally.
