Abstract

What are the changes and new developments that are needed in management education to make a transition to the complex and dynamic, highly competitive, interdependent, and pluralistic global village of the 21st century? Where are today's creative and innovative ideas that can shape the future of management education, build in great breadth and depth of understanding of the impacts and consequences of business decisions on all stakeholders? How can educators develop managers who can create the types of organizations, large and small, for- and not-for-profit, that can meet their societies, communities, and people's needs without further eroding the ecological environment? How do we, as management educators, develop both our selves and our schools, and help our students to build their organizations for the future? What is and should be the management--and management education--paradigm that will work for the pluralistic world of the 21st century? Keynote speakers Karl Weick (Michigan) on educating for the "knowable" or the infamous real world, Henry Mintzberg (McGill) on educating managers, not MBAs, and Peter Senge (MIT/SoL) on the journey from teaching to learning via three types of practice. Commenting on the keynotes will be Joseph Raelin (Boston C.) (on work-based and reflective practice), Milton Blood (AACSB) on defining quality in management education, Wil Foppen (Erasmus, Rotterdam) on a European perspective, and James Post (Boston U) on social issues and the environment. Sandra Waddock (Boston C.), Al Bluedorn (Missouri), and Linda Livingstone (Baylor) organized the symposium
