Abstract (De)
Read three perspectives, from Arnoud De Meyer, Thomas Bieger and Robina Xavier, that describe the opportunities and challenges of the digital transformation for business schools. All argue that having a sound strategy is essential.
Current graduates have to be equipped with the future skills needed in a world full of data and analytics. Many jobs that today’s learners will be doing in 2030 haven’t been invented yet. This may be a scary thought for some, while others may have already embraced the concept of lifelong learning and prepared themselves for ongoing professional and personal development. In other words, we can observe that the future seems uncertain but is still full of prospects. In a broader sense, this is also true for business schools. The digital transformation is the challenge of the 21st century and will no doubt have a significant impact on management education and the, perhaps underestimated, possibilities for the schools.
