The Liberal Arts and Management Education

Reviews / Votes

'Anemic global growth, severe income disparity and ethical breaches have cast concern that management education models are flawed. In this provocative book, Thomas and Harney convincingly argue that the main issue is the lack of integration of the liberal arts into management curricula. They call for a rethinking, not only of business education but of how universities structure their curricula in all areas. This book should be required reading for all academics; it will undoubtedly change the way faculty think about educating the next generation of leaders.' Andrew J. Policano, Professor Emeritus, The University of California, Irvine 'A major contribution for the reinvention of business schools, and higher education at large, by two of the most prominent experts in the sector.This book centers the future debate for the mission of business educators and the essence of management science.' Santiago Iniguez de Onzono, President, IE University, Madrid '... an innovative pedagogy and perhaps a new appreciation for the relationship between the liberal arts and management degree curricula that integrates the ever-increasing need for professional skills with the historical role of the college experience. This new approach will ensure that baccalaureate graduates, whatever their discipline, are prepared not only for the specialized demands of their professional careers but also for the demands of global leadership.'
