چکیده
These are interesting times for graduate business schools. We have to cope with many short-term challenges: graduates have difficulties in landing jobs and demand more from the career management services, professors keep counting on higher salaries, fund raising has become more competitive while funds seem to be less available, and students are more demanding in terms of the content that we offer. But we should not be blinded by these short-term questions only. When one looks somewhat further than these immediate challenges, it’s possible to see at least five different strategic changes. These views, which I first formulated during the POMS conference in April 2002 in San Francisco, are mine and do not represent the views of my school. I offer them here as an introduction to the debate. First, we may have to cope with some oversupply in the sector. Second, business schools are becoming more dependent on revenues from activities that are market sensitive and, thus, more volatile. Third, all of us need to push forward with the internationalization of our schools. Fourth, governments are increasingly interested in education as a business proposition and are liberalizing the education sector all over the world. And, fifth, we all have to understand better how we deploy technology in a productive way. Let me spend some paragraphs on each of these—I will take more space to tackle the issue of internationalization, because I have been an actor and a privileged observer of this over the last years.
