Introduction

Over the past two centuries, the world’s socio-economic progression has gone through profound paradigm changes unfolding along four major developmental stages. Higher education has been an important part of this process. The Fourth Industrial Revolution, unfolding as we speak at the current of these four stages, encompasses and integrates a wide range of new technologies that are fusing the physical, digital and biological worlds and affecting all disciplines, economies, and industries. A critical part of these processes is a fusion—a synergetic integration of technological, socio-economic, and business developments and innovations based on increasingly effective and time/cost-efficient information platforms coinciding with advances in transportation and logistics that is transforming once cumbersome transnational machinations of trade into efficient and flexible global supply chains. These processes foster an exceptionally dynamic environment and exponential development of business opportunities. On the other hand, they also bring about “creative destruction” that causes numerous organizations, whole industries, and broad economic sectors to vanish from the socio-economic and business landscape under competitive forces. The disruption has critical implications for labor markets and, by extension, higher education. The accelerated pace of technological, socio-economic, and business innovations as well as ongoing fundamental changes in the real world call for an adequate, if not expedited, progress in pedagogy. While modern universities have adopted in various degrees through information platforms such as Blackboard or Brightspace, video conferencing, and other technological innovations, they still commonly rely on pedagogical ideas and concepts rooted in a thoroughly pre-modern era rooted in medieval times.

Objective

Business education at colleges and universities of higher education is a sizeable and globally interdependent sector playing important strategic role and enjoying high socio-economic and national policy priorities. As part of the national and international socio-economic landscape, business education has been engaged in changes and strategic disruptions associated with the Fourth Industrial Revolution and other forces and impacts. These dynamics have been amplified across the world by the advent of COVID-19. The proposed book aims to explore the following issues and developments in global business education: • Genesis of higher education and its contemporary structure and profile (with the emphasis on business education) in major global regions and major selected leading nations and emerging economies. • Key international, regional, and national institutions involved in governance, support and control of business education (universities and colleges/business schools) • Global trends, dynamics, drivers, and developmental imperatives shaping business education • National systems, trends, dynamics, drivers, and developmental imperatives in business education in select countries (approximately ten countries to be covered) • Specialized educational/training business programs

Target Audience

The book will serve as a reference, source material for the administration of universities and colleges, academic courses, research projects, industrial, economic, social, urban, innovation, legal, and other studies, as well as policy development.
