Summary

This chapter discusses eight key dilemmas that typically tend to be faced by leading business schools. Each of these call for carful trade-offs and balancing. These dilemmas might include:

  1. - Research and teaching practice

  2. - Growing and being profitable

  3. - Innovation and status quo

  4. - Degree programs an in-company programs

The key for a schools’ leadership, faculty and staff would be to settle for a balanced approach to each dilemma, attempting to stay away from extreme approaches, which tend to be dysfunctional.
