In today's world, relentless change is the norm as organizations strive to stay in front of new competitors. Graduate business schools face some of these same challenges; declines in government funding, weakening student enrollment, increased institutional competitiveness and the ever-changing landscape of technology. While business and management schools have made impressive advances overall, starting in the 1950's and right up through today, many critics see business education heading in the wrong direction and still in need of a major overhaul. But how can they evolve to meet the needs of the future? How do these leading institutions, the schools that have trained millions of today's business leaders, continue to lead and change?
