Summary

Business schools are facing an ever increasing internationalization. Student cohorts are less homogenous than before, faculty members come from different countries, and teaching is carried out in second (or even third) languages. Business schools and their teachers face new challenges as these changes accelerate. Teaching and Learning in Business Schools brings together contributions from business school managers and educators involved in the International Teachers Programme; a development programme started by Harvard Business School 30 years ago and now run by a consortium of the London Business School, Manchester Business School, Kellogg, Stern School of Business, INSEAD, HEC Paris, IAE Aix-en-Provence, IMD, SDA Bocconi Milan and Stockholm School of Economics. The key themes of the book tackle both themes within the classroom - teaching across different contexts and cultures; and outside the classroom - leading and developing business schools, designing and running programmes, developing faculty members. Teaching and Learning in Business Schools provides everyone concerned with the development of business schools, the faculty and the students within them with direction, ideas and techniques for transforming the delivery of business education.
