  • 1.  Curriculum Reform

    Posted 11-04-1997 09:12
    It has been approximately ten years since the Porter and McKibbin report,
    Management Education and Development: Drift or Thrust into
    the 21st Century, was issued. One of the criticisms of that report was
    that schools of business were not doing a very good job of developing
    the leadership/managerial skills of their students. I am working on an
    article and I am trying to identify schools who in the last ten years have
    done some curriculum reform to respond to this criticism. So far, using
    electronic searches, I have been able to identify Harvard, Ohio and
    Washington Universities as having done some degree of curriculum
    reform. Could you help me in identifying other schools that have also
    done some degree of curriculum reform? Could you cite any
    articles/papers that describe the curriculum reform? Can I cite your
    response as personal communication in the article?

    Thank you for your assistance.
