CALL for chapter proposals
NEW VISIONS FOR GRADUATE MANAGEMENT EDUCATION
Eds. Charles Wankel and Robert DeFillippi
This fifth volume in the Research in Management Education and Development
(Information Age Publishers) series will cover new visions for the
curriculum design and pedagogic delivery of graduate management education,
with a focus on Master's programs. Recent critiques of traditional MBA
programs have emphasized the overly analytic emphasis of MBA instruction,
the stifling of creativity, innovation and integration within functional
teaching and research silos, the disconnect between theory and practice,
between knowing and doing, and between rigor and relevance and other issues.
We invite chapter proposals that examine contemporary MBA education, its
current shortcomings and future possibilities. Each chapter should refer to
relevant citations and examples of practice related to the selected
visionary theme.
