Overview
If the debate over climate change, the global financial crisis and a series of natural and man-made disasters (volcanoes, earthquakes, oil spills, and habitat destruction) are not enough to make humanity take stock and know that there has to be a different future, then what does have to happen to induce change?  On 26 August 2010, two events run by APCSE , in association with the   Asia Pacific Academy of Business in Society (APABIS) and  Waikato Management School , ask what role business and management schools should play in education that is useful, relevant and timely given the current global situation and addresses the future – a future with a significant break from the last 200 hundred years of industrialisation and the institutions and procedures that have developed in the 60 years since the end of World War Two.  So we ask: “What should business and management schools be teaching?"
