REMINDER: CFP: New Visions of Graduate Management Education
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 by Pfeffer and Fong (2002) and Mintzberg (2004) 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.
We invite manuscript proposals that explicitly examine any of the above (or
other) criticisms of contemporary MBA education and also provide an
empirical review and best practice analysis of new visions for the design
and delivery of MBA education Each chapter should be grounded in relevant
theory, empirical research and examples of best practice for the selected
visionary theme.
