Emphasizing the practical side of Technology and Innovation Management, this book includes significant contributions to the practice of strategizing, management of competences and innovation management. While the findings are research-based, each contribution has 'managerial implications' which cover the recommended implementation.

Approaches in Practice

Managing Innovation Driven Companies

Stéphanie Dameron

European Business Schools tend to imitate their North American counterparts in an attempt to catch up in the worldwide competition for knowledge creation and training in management. Is this relevant? To what extent do business schools in Europe contribute to competitiveness of the economy? What will be the impact of new technologies, e.g. on executive education? Will there be a European job market for business professors? Will market forces win against state owned universities? The book compares the current institutional setting of business schools in various countries and presents five foresight scenarios for 2020.

Scenarios and Strategies for 2012

The Future of Business Schools

This book discusses the challenges facing business schools and management education systems around the world. Based on documented descriptions of institutional and competitive dynamics in the ‘industry’ of management education, the authors show how management education is going through major changes such as new governance and business models, mergers and acquisitions, internationalisation of faculty and students coexisting with entrenchment in local markets, ever more needs for financial resources, development of distant and blended learning, and increasing pressure for research output to boost rankings. With concerns surrounding the sustainability of current trends in faculty salary inflation, social acceptability of higher fees, cost of distance learning and the risk of an academic-industry divide around knowledge produced by management research, The Future of Management Education develops an analysis of business models and discusses strategic implications for stakeholders. The second volume extends the discussion to a total of 23 countries to bring a genuinely global perspective and move away from the Euro-centric outlook. The countries covered in the second volume include China, Brazil, Russia, Singapore and France.
