ABSTRACT

Post-COVID, it is clear that the tenor, and tone, of current debates has a much stronger student and societal flavour, which suggests that businesses need to address the views of all stakeholders. They should be more proactive in addressing critical social and environmental challenges such as inequality, social and financial exclusion, climate change and social and economic impact. Eric Cornuel noted that the pandemic disruption of COVID-19 has thrust management education into an important and creative period of transformation and change. This dramatic shift has accelerated a process of deeper reflection on the mission and values of business and management education and its role and impact on societies and ecosystems. It is important to examine the new existential realities using the concept of a ‘zero-based culture’ for reshaping management education. Online teaching has clearly disrupted our traditional approaches for controlling integrity and providing feedback to students on their attainment of learning goals and skills development.
