For many years commentators have described what is wrong with
business schools - characterizing them as the breeding grounds of a
culture of greed and self-enrichment in global business at the
expense of the rest of society and of nature. Management Education
for the World is a response to this critique and a handbook for
those seeking to educate and create knowledge for a new breed of
business leaders. It presents a vision for the transformation of
management education in service of the common good and explains how
such a vision can be implemented in practice. The 50+20 vision, as
it is also known, was developed through a collaborative initiative
between the Globally Responsible Leadership Initiative, the World
Business School Council for Sustainable Business and the
U.N.-backed Principles of Responsible Management Education and
draws on the expertise of sustainability scholars, business and
business school leaders and thought leaders from many other walks
of life. This book explores the 21st century agenda of management
education, identifying three fundamental goals: educating and
developing globally responsible leaders, enabling business
organizations to serve the common good, and engaging in the
transformation of business and the economy. It is a clarion call of
service to society for a sector lost between the interests of
faculty, business and the schools themselves at the expense of
people and planet. It sees business education stepping up to the
plate with the ability of holding and creating a space to provide
responsible leadership for a sustainable world embodied in the
central and unifying element of the 50+20 vision, the
collaboratory. Management Education for the World is written for
everyone concerned or passionate about the future of management
education: consultants, facilitators, entrepreneurs and leaders in
organizations of any kind, as well as policymakers and others with
an interest in new and transformative thinking in the field. In
particular, teachers, researchers, students and administrators will
find it an invaluable resource on their journey.
