Description: Shaping the Future of Business Education answers the question of how to prepare tomorrow's leaders with a distinctive formula as wide as it is deep. Two dozen distinguished professors and leaders in business education argue that only a broad, rigorous, and relevant education will work - a fusion of business knowledge with arts and sciences, technology, and ethical training that emphasizes integrated thinking, broad perspectives, and cultural awareness along with specific expertise. These educators demonstrate practical methods of including arts and sciences in the teaching of business knowledge, while also integrating the best of business into the arts and sciences. The result? Business leaders who can communicate and operate successfully in ambiguous and fluid situations, as well as liberal-arts students who have the business knowledge they need in order to work well in organizations. -- Book Jacket.
