HANOVER, N.H.—Deans from top international business schools recently gathered to discuss the current and future state of management education in China. The event was the latest in a series of roundtables held around the world and organized and moderated by Paul Danos, dean of the Tuck School of Business at Dartmouth, and Santiago Iñiguez, dean of Instituto de Empressa. The assembly was hosted by Deans Weijiong Zhang and Rolf Cremer of CEIBS in Shanghai. Other deans in attendance were Leonard K. Cheng of HKUST Business School, Yu-Sheng Zheng of Cheung Kong Graduate School of Business, and Xiongwen Lu of Fudan University.

"Globalization is changing business education just as surely as it has changed international business," says Danos. "These roundtable discussions have been a valuable tool for comparing regional business school models and ensuring that our MBA programs reflect the realities of the modern marketplace."

Deans from more than 25 schools around the world, senior faculty members, business education reporters, education consultants, and professional development executives from top corporations have joined together for the five roundtable sessions held to date.

At the most recent roundtable in Shanghai, the deans spoke about a wide range of topics, including the demand for more faculty and PhD training, government regulations and funding of Chinese business schools, and student work experience prior to starting MBA programs.

During previous roundtables, the deans discussed the unique traits of each region's business education system, compared them with other international models, and discussed the impact of globalization on business schools. For example, in Germany the discussion focused on the Bologna Accord, which has established a model and standards for higher education in Europe. And in Brazil participants discussed how Brazilian schools differ from the U.S. and European models in their standards, curriculum, and degree of focus on faculty research.

Specific experiences and issues ranged from one region to the next, but all five discussions reported that globalization is influencing the curriculum and strategy of today's business schools. Particularly in Europe and China, deans reported that international political entities and NGOs are affecting business education through standards and accreditation. They also noted that market forces are bringing schools closer to corporate partners and highlighting the importance of faculty research. As prospective students consider schools across country borders, top schools must show that their faculty can compete not just within their region but also with schools from around the globe.

This roundtable series is one piece of Tuck's sustained international outreach in recent years, which includes initiatives for Europe, Latin America, and India as well as the Tuck Ambassador Program with representatives in 25 countries.

A THREE-HOUR deans' roundtable titled "The Future of Business Manage-ment Education in China and Around the World" was held at the China Europe International Business School Shanghai campus recently.

Hosted and moderated by Paul Danos, dean of the Tuck School of Business at Dartmouth, the graduate school of management founded in 1900, these roundtables are part of Tuck's sustained international outreach program.

The frank discussion featured five deans from CEIBS in Shanghai, the Institute Empress in Spain, Fudan Management School, Cheung Kong Graduate School of Business and the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology Business School.

"Globalization is changing business education just as surely as it has changed international business. We'd like to know how education is developing in the world and explore places that we want to learn about," Danos said.

"There is no government control on what education will become. No American model is going to be the majority model globally. It is necessary that new models are adapted. That's why I initiated the event."

Deans Talking (in Cologne, Sao Paulo, and Paris)

Paul Danos, Dean Tuck School of Business at Dartmouth.

Over the past year and a half, we hosted a series of three roundtable discussions in Cologne, Germany; Sao Paulo, Brazil; and Paris, France with other business school deans from China, Europe, Latin America and the US.  We recently completed synopses of each transcript, and have posted them here:

From the discussions one can see that globalization is changing business education just as surely as it has changed international business.  These roundtables have been a valuable tool for comparing regional business school models and ensuring that our MBA programs reflect the realities of the modern marketplace.

Roundtable on Business Education in Brazil

Paul Danos, Dean Tuck School of Business at Dartmouth.

For the second in a series of roundtables on the future of business management education, a group of business education leaders and journalists from the U.S. and Brazil recently came together to discuss the situation in Brazil. This is the summary of that session, The Nature of the MBA Program in Brazil, (also avaible in this post just below using the "Continue reading.. " link) along with the previous roundtable discussion—The Future of Management Education in Germany.

Some of the findings show that while both countries have many new MBA programs, in Brazil, most of the new programs are part-time and are offered by independent business schools that are not closely affiliated with universities. Also, the prediction for the growth of faculties is that in Germany schools seek to build a research culture akin to that in the U.S. while the Brazilian faculties are expected to be mostly part-time, with less emphasis on academic and refereed research.

The most recent roundtable discussion on the Future of Management Education in Europe was just held in Paris on April 23. The transcript of that conversation will be available soon.

Tuck trip to Peru, Chile and Brazil...thoughts

Paul Danos, Dean Tuck School of Business at Dartmouth.

During a recent trip to Latin American, I moderated a roundtable on the future of management education in Brazil.  When the transcript is done, we will post it on this blog, as we did with our roundtable on the future of management education in Germany. 

I came away with some general impressions and initial contrasts with the situation in Germany.  First, whereas Germany has created many new MBA programs in the last few years, most of which are full-time and often extensions of their first degrees, new programs in Brazil and Latin America in general are part-time and many are long-established. 

I found that the topics covered in both German and Brazilian business schools are converging to a more or less worldwide norm with best practices coming through in text books and cases that are common across many countries.

In Brazil with regard ...

Diary | - "Roundtable on future of business education in Germany"

Paul Danos, Dean Tuck School of Business at Dartmouth.

The idea of a series of roundtable discussions in important regions of the world, which would include leaders of business education, came out of the enormous growth and changes I  have witnessed in this industry over the last five years.

Germany is a particularly dynamic setting and a good example of the burst of innovation and change throughout Europe created by the Bologna Accord. This summary of our discussion delves into the German situation. We plan to host future roundtables in other key regions in the coming years.
