How can business education enhance value for students, employers, and the rest of society? How will technology continue to challenge the model of business education? And how can academia and industry collaborate to make sure that students develop important leadership and management competencies? These are just some of the critical questions facing business school leaders, educators, and industry experts today. This book, the first in a two-book series to articulate the rationale and method for developing a series of global conversations through a Jam process to address the most pressing issues in business education today, looks specifically at the issue of regional requirements and necessary contextual variation in approaches.

With insights from some of the leading business school deans and educators, Global Business Education: An Innovative Dialogue focuses on the discussion and paths taken that led to the creation of the innovative concept of a distributed, regional model of jams. This will include the background on the first Jam; the rationale and design of the regional jams; and present the outcomes of the 10 global dialogues.

This book is important for all business school leaders and educators who wish to gain insight into innovative methods for determining new directions in business education.
