Description
Book SynopsisThis book contributes to the debate about the impact of business and management schools.
It brings together work that has been carried out over the last few years, to call attention to the idea that the impact of academics is not solely achieved through their research and engagement activities and that their teaching has the potential to change management practice and thinking. As business school academics, the authors are in the privileged position of educating the managers of the future, whose work will influence the lives of many others, both on a day-to-day basis within their organisations and in much broader, societal way. They propose Relational Management Education (RME) as an approach that supports managers to learn and develop as ethical and collegial scholar practitioners. They also introduce models which can help conceptualise pedagogies for impact and examples of student learning journeys showing how this approach can be enacted.
The book will be of interest to academics in business and management schools at any career stage. It will also appeal to university and business school leaders and policymakers seeking to extend their understanding of the power and potential of education to achieve impact.
