Are business schools the next dinosaurs?

Are business schools destined to disappear? Those wishing to survive in a changing environment would do well to learn some lessons from the health sector, which, in the space of ten years, has been radically transformed due to similar pressures of budgetary constraints and competition as faced by business. Indeed, new protagonists in management teaching, innovation and research, such as large management consultancies, company universities or the business press, are in the process of establishing themselves. Discussions have begun between those who favour business schools and regard themselves intellectually as a step ahead, and those who see the competition as a serious threat or alternatively as an opportunity to improve themselves in this area, regardless of other protagonists.
