Emerging contours of Business Education

In this short 11 minute interview with McKinsey Quarterly, Blair Sheppard, dean of Duke University’s Fuqua School of Business explains how the Business Education is shaping globally. Highlights: 
  • Changing attitudes/interests of students - broadening horizons
  • Need for a shift from the inter-disciplinary structure to an inter-scholastic structure
  • Industry's need for humble leaders and how to create them
  • Emergence of B Schools as truly global, more industry specific and a clear demarcation between the top notch schools and mediocre schools





NITIE - my alma-mater partially at least qualifies as futuristic in terms of having a deeply ingrained structure to develop humble leaders - students run the school in most dimensions and have an amazing exposure to team-work/ leadership while on campus!!
