This is the first of the two volumes, written with strong support
from EFMD (The European Foundation for Management Development) and
GMAC (The Graduate Management Admissions Council), aimed at
understanding and examining the challenges involved in management
education across Africa. The common perception of Africa is as a
global growth region, and a continent on the move, with a parallel,
huge demand for managerial skills to leverage the potential for
economic growth. The authors, through a fine-grained, face-to-face,
interview process, explore the perspectives, and interactions
between, management educators and other business, and government
stakeholders as they seek to close the management education gap.
Africa has no collective identity. Therefore, it is important to
understand the diverse cultures, histories and contexts underlying
the 54 member states. With this is mind, the book "maps" the
diverse landscape of Africa in the earlier chapters. This provides
the framework around which subsequent chapters can reflect sensibly
on the past evolution of alternative management education
approaches in Africa, and the current landscape.
This is the second of two volumes written to celebrate the 40th
anniversary of EFMD. Drawing on interviews conducted with leaders
in the world of management education, the first volume took a
retrospective view, focusing on the evolution of management
education and providing the context that led management education
to where it stands today. It also synthesized respondents' views on
the strengths and weaknesses of the field, the challenges it faces,
as well as lessons learned and not learned from the past. This
second volume similarly draws on the very rich data provided by the
same respondents, but is future-oriented and takes on the theme of
change. It provides the reader with a sense of the challenges on
the horizon, potential blind spots, and new realities of an
increasingly competitive environment. It discusses a range of
alternative future scenarios for management education, and urges
the field to resist the lures of the dominant paradigm and to
develop new models instead. The authors contend that, given the
challenges ahead, it is only through transformations and
innovations that the future of the field can be secured.

Africa is commonly perceived as a global growth region and a
continent on the move, with a huge demand for managerial skills to
ensure sustainable economic growth. In order to gain a
comprehensive understanding of the challenges to management
education development in Africa, it is important to understand the
diverse cultures, histories and contexts underlying the 54 member
states. With this is mind, this book explores the future of
management education, considering the differing scenarios for
change and the practical realities of developing management
education in VUCA (volatile, uncertain, complex and ambiguous)
environments. This is the second of two volumes, written with
strong support from the EFMD (European Foundation for Management
Development) and the GMAC (Graduate Management Admission Council),
aimed at understanding and examining the challenges of developing
management education across Africa. The authors, through a
fine-tuned, face-to-face interview process, explore the
perspectives and interactions between management educators and
other business and government stakeholders as they look to the
future of management education in Africa.
Latin American business schools have grown in scale and quality in
recent decades, yet they have received a relatively low level of
attention globally when compared to schools from other parts of the
world. This book seeks to address this dearth of attention and
provide an in-depth examination of management education in the
region. The book examines the main historical, cultural, social,
political, and economic aspects of the Latin American continent and
describes the evolutionary path of business education in the region
until its current state. It analyzes and interprets the major
events, key issues, impact of different actors, main changes, and
"blind spots" in the evolution of management education in Latin
America over the last 10 years. It then identifies the biggest
on-going challenges confronting business education on the continent
and discusses whether a Latin American model for management
education is a realistic proposition. Finally, the book explores
how the competitive environment of business education in the region
will evolve over the next 10 years, and how these changes will
influence the critical issues facing Latin American management
education.
