Synopsis: The international contributors gathered here, from areas of management, economics, and business ethics, are all affiliated with the Community of European Management Schools. They look at challenges facing business schools and offer diverging perspectives on current controversies. Part 1 offers a historical and geographical perspective on business school legitimacy, looking at the philosophical underpinnings of business schools. Contributors discuss how business schools have developed regionally and how they have contributed to setting a new global agenda for business. Part 2 addresses the 'marketization' of business school and how it influences the legitimacy of business schools. Contributors examine how schools respond to the new economic reality and how they interact with stakeholders. The last part of the book investigates the role of business schools in shaping and transforming ethical business conduct. Morsing directs the Copenhagen Business School's Center for Corporate Social Responsibility. Sauquet Rovira is dean of the ESADE Business School.
