How to decide curiculum for b-school in this dynamic world???

One of the questions that we face now in

business education is, to what extent should we

encourage researchers and students to work with

practice—corporate involvement and case

studies?

I have a simple picture of university education. I

think what you do is get the brightest, smartest,

most discipline-trained people you can get and

you tell them to teach what they think is important

and interesting. And the curriculum consists of the

collection that turns out as a result of that. My

sense is that different good teachers use different

methods. Some of them use cases, some of them

use models, some use field work, some use equations.

And the good ones are scattered all over that

map. And any time you try to make a principle of

doing one or the other, you are almost certainly

wrong. In my “dream business school” there would

be a collection of good scholars, and they would be

the teachers, and what they taught would be the

curriculum. Whatever that would be. If they are

really teachers, they would want to teach what

they genuinely thought these students should

have.
