Kudos to The Economist for launching one of its latest on-line channels, Business Education. In my book The Integration Imperative, I make a big deal about the lagging I see in business schools' adoption of new curricula, especially where it relates to professional service marketing and professional service firm management. Too many still rely on product-based models, when the world's economic engine is heavily service based.
Of course business schools aren't the only way to "educate business." What are the managing partners, executive committee members, and practice leaders doing to increase the business skills of their people, so they understand the changing marketplace in which they will always work?
And so I'm especially pleased to see this respected publication bringing a new focus to the trends and best practices of educating business.
