Disruptive Innovations in Business Research Group
Welcome to the Disruptive Innovations in Business Education Research Group blog – a space where we explore new ideas about how business education can better serve students, educators, and society.
We believe that Business Schools can—and should—do more than just prepare people for the corporate world. We want to help shape institutions that lead with purpose, adapt to change, and make a real difference.
Our blog explores questions around how we teach business in a world full of uncertainty, what a truly inclusive and transformative student experience looks like, and how can we rethink curriculum, technology, and assessment to make sure disruption points us towards positive change.
