Opportunities for Management Education

Highlights From this Segment

Technology will continue to provide many opportunities to reach distant audiences and make the best of the synchronous methodology; it is already changing the role of professors and the way knowledge is disseminated. Management education is all-pervasive; all professions should have good management behind them. In time, management may be taught at primary and secondary schools, as it is a vital element of social life. For business schools to expand across other sectors, they must become more embedded within their own institutions.

Other types of schools—medical schools and engineering schools—are producing really good ideas, but they need to have good management behind them in order best be implemented in society. For management education to have greater influence on society, both schools and businesses need to celebrate and tell stories of success and impact.
