AI as a Disruptor in Management Education: Are Business Schools Ready for the Future?

Le résumé fourni par la source

In a world fraught with technological upheaval and sociopolitical instability, artificial intelligence (AI) has emerged as a profoundly disruptive force, reshaping industries and redefining human roles in work and society. Business schools, currently the key institutions providing management education to prepare future managers and leaders, face an existential challenge: Are they equipped to navigate this transformative and disruptive technology, or will they become a casualty of their own inertia? This symposium delves into the intersection of AI and the future of management education, questioning whether business schools and management educators are ready—or even willing—to meet this challenge. At its core, this symposium provides different perspectives to address the question: Are business schools ready to prepare their students for a future significantly shaped by AI, or are they unable to adapt to this technological disruption? As AI challenges educators to move beyond conventional teaching and assessment methods, it also demands an embrace of abstract reasoning and future-focused thinking. If AI can outperform educators not only in delivering knowledge but also in empowering learners with personalized, real-time support, how can educators and business schools adapt? The education technology (EdTech) industry is rapidly transforming how management education content is developed, delivered, and consumed. From learning management systems to AI-driven personalized tutoring, much of this innovation is occurring outside the traditional boundaries of educational institutions. As AI accelerates, the prospect of it supplanting human interaction in education grows ever more plausible, which raises critical questions about the purpose and value of management education in an increasingly tech-dominated landscape that this symposium addresses.
