Shaping management education in S'pore

In a commentary on the Asian Management Conclave (AMC), which was held at SMU last month, SMU Lee Kong Chian School of Business Dean and Professor of Innovation and Entrepreneurship Gerard George wrote about how Asian business schools need to come together to share practices, create new knowledge and collaborate to have a bigger presence on the world stage. He noted that if Singapore truly wants to create business schools to be proud of, both the industry and government must pitch in to do more, and build up the country's intellectual capital together. The event, jointly organised by SMU and management education think-tank MBAUniverse.com, was themed "Management Education in Asia: Strategies to Leapfrog", and saw deans of leading business schools in Asia come together to discuss the future of management education.
