With the world in the midst of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, associated labor market challenges are bringing changes to how business schools offer executive education to the future workforce. The COVID-19 pandemic has further underlined the need for such change through impacts on today's workforce and the expected developments that ongoing technological advancements will have on the workforce of the future.
This book explores the need for business schools to strategically work to redefine the concept of an innovative business school ecosystem through commitment to experimentation and innovation. The authors advocate for such change to be realized through partnerships supporting actions that ensure graduates' and workers' access to skills building and reskilling and upskilling. The book presents selected case studies exemplifying such an approach and highlights best practices that can be implemented in public-private as well as private-private partnerships.
The Innovative Management Education Ecosystem: Reskilling and Upskilling the Future Workforce offers readers from industry and academia as well as government institutions insights that will benefit the development of innovative curricula and training programs and, at the same time, labor markets.
