The Future of Business Schools Scenarios and Strategies for 2012

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.
