24548: Changing the Paradigm: Impact-Focused MBA Program Designs
Saturday, July 26, 2025 09:00 - 11:00 CEST (GMT+2) Location: Bella Center: Hall C- C3-m10
Session Description:
The primary objective of this PDW is to provide Academy Members with the opportunity to work together to address the challenge of designing a new, impact-focused MBA program that breaks free of current approaches to program design. The MBA, as a degree program, is over one hundred years old, and current design approaches may not be adequate to address the challenges facing businesses and business schools today. By addressing the challenge from multiple perspectives and knowledge traditions, this PDW hopes to broaden our understanding of the challenges facing graduate management education, explore innovative and paradigm-shifting models of program design, and better inform future research and practice of management education.
Panelists:
Dharm Bhawuk (U. of Hawaii at Manoa), Indu Rao Kaveti (Pandit Deendayal Energy University), Tanvi Kothari (San Jose State), Ashish Pandey (IIT Bombay), Aarti Ramaswami (ESSEC) & Nagaraj Sivasubramaniam (Duquesne University)
Hope to see many of you at our session on Saturday,
Best wishes,
Robert Sroufe
