9 - The Future

Summary

The final text chapter of the book starts out delineating five key factors likely to shape the future of business schools in general. It then makes the point that various forms of blended learning are likely to become more and more prevailing, and the ways in which good business schools might be managed might become more ambiguous. To measure progress shall thus become more and more key. An emerging new business school context shall thus have to take into account the need to be cost-effective, make space for changing study preferences, and allow for more tailoring of the curriculum, all within school network settings, discussed in the previous chapter.
