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.

A reference guide for change agents, leaders and activists
everywhere for business leaders, politicians, policymakers,
researchers and thought-leaders, social entrepreneurs, community
leaders and philanthropists... in fact, everyone and anyone who
knows we need profound change and is frustrated that it's not
happening. Across the planet millions of people are working to
create a better world for current and future generations. Yet,
while we have less than a generation in which to change course in
order to prevent serious ecological collapse, our societies are
increasingly polarised and our leadership seemingly unable to
effectively chart a new course. Despite our best efforts, we are
failing to create the change we need at the pace necessary within
the available window of time for action. The reason is that our
perspectives on what we are doing (and why) are insufficient for
the complex issues at hand. To fix the problems, we must first
build the capacity to work from a new and higher order of thinking.
Changing The World We Create explains: the need for a collective
change in perspectives, what specifically are the changes required,
and the beginnings of how we can make it happen. Problem, solution,
execution. This book is the result of two years collaboration
between Tomas Bjoerkman (on the basis of his seminal work The World
We Create) and global change agents Mark Drewell and Bjoern
Larsson. It has been designed to be a short, accessible starting
point for your journey into new perspectives that will unlock a
better future for us all. There is no guarantee that embracing new
perspectives will change the trajectory for humanity. We can
however be sure that we will fail, if we do not.
