“…New models of business schools and higher education in general are being called for based on global challenges (e.g. Carlile et al, 2016;The Economist, 2016a, 2016b. Kring and Kaplan (2011) at Korn Ferry argue that BSDs will need to focus on "CEO-style breadth and organisational expertise over more narrow academic mastery" and to demonstrate "strategic skills, enterprise management, innovation, and people and relationship effectiveness".…”

Are business school deans doomed?The global financial crisis, Brexit and all that Abstract The purpose of this paper is to focus on different types of university-based business school dean (BSD) in a context of insecurities within the business school business and more widely with changing business and educational models and disruptions such as the global financial crisis and Brexit. The position of the BSD is contextualised within the industry sector, institutionally, and in relation to individuals' tenures to make sense of how BSDs are operating on a burning platform. A wellestablished middle management strategic role framework is applied to the empirical data. In total, 50 one-to-one interviews were conducted with deans and their colleagues. Deans' behaviours were analysed according to attention paid to "facilitating", "synthesizing", "championing", and "implementing" strategic activities. Behaviours from primary professional identities as scholars and educators were identified as prevalent. It is suggested that to achieve greater legitimacy in declining mature markets, future deans will need to re-negotiate their roles to champion as public intellectuals the societal impact of business schools more widely in a context of shifting business and educational models. The study is relevant to current and aspiring deans and for those hiring and developing business school deans. The dean is conceptualised as a hybrid upper middle manager besieged by multiple stakeholders and challenges. Novel first-order insights into a typology of strategists are highlighted.

“…In this new scenario, in which there are no conclusive recipes or ready-made solutions, citizens must act proactively, autonomously, ethically and responsibly [2]. The training and education of future generations require the acquisition of the necessary skills to undertake their own life projects and face the challenges that may undermine personal wellbeing [3].…”

Analysis of Entrepreneurial Education—Study of the Configuration of the Entrepreneurial Identity through the Acquisition of Crucial Transversal Competences for Future University Students

Faced with the continuous changes that today’s society presents, educational policies place entrepreneurial education and, therefore, the promotion of the entrepreneurial spirit, as the axis on which to articulate effective responses for the current socio-educational context. The need to train students in key aspects that will enable them to face the main difficulties that future labor and social future bring is the focus of attention of the educational environment. In this sense, we set out to find out how entrepreneurial education affects the identity formation of pre-university students in the Spanish context through the pedagogical and environmental factors present in an entrepreneurial education programme. The methodology used is based on qualitative research, which under an interpretative approach, has been assisted by quantitative and evaluative research on educational programmes, in order to try to respond to research objectives. The findings of this research lead us to consider entrepreneurial education in the pre-university environment as effective for the configuration of entrepreneurial identity in students, which facilitates an encouraging future for university students participating in these programmes, who will present an improved entrepreneurial identity that enables them to face forthcoming social, economic and labor reconfigurations.

“…With an emphasis on imparting knowledge of business theories and practices as well as teaching the fundamental skills required to conduct commerce-related activities, business education encompasses a wide range of programs spanning from traditional academic degree programs to professional development, vocational training, or certification programs to meet specific needs of various stakeholders in the business world. In particular, the business education provided by colleges and universities has been recognised as a driving element for improving business performance and growth (Carlile et al, 2016). Traditional business degree programs offered by universities around the world follow a curriculum that typically includes a collection of core courses in fundamentals of management, marketing, accounting, finance, and other business-related subjects.…”

“…Furthermore, the importance of incorporating experiential and applied learning tools into teaching management topics has been strongly highlighted in the literature (e.g., Reynolds and Vince, 2007;Eckhaus et al, 2017, among others). In fact, the future of teaching management is envisioned to increasingly rely on methods such as action learning, reflection on topics, and contextualisation of concepts to help students 'emerge and engage' in more tangible ways with their educational paths (Carlile et al, 2016).…”

This paper examines the effectiveness of utilising structured informational interviews in a business management course to enhance students' ability to contextualise and articulate the utility of the concepts and techniques covered in the course within the broader framework of managerial functions in practical settings. A comparative performance study of two groups of students is used to illustrate the viability of utilising informational interviews as an experiential instructional tool to achieve the desired learning outcome. The paper also looks at students' perceptions of informational interviews and their impacts on their learning experiences.
