Advancing the future of management education research

"This cutting-edge book argues that the best way to advance the future of management education is to nurture scholars who take a fascination in the intellectual field itself. Moving beyond recent trends in the scholarship, Stuart Middleton investigates the underlying beliefs of key approaches to management education, identifying important avenues for future contributions to the field. Middleton traces the historical development of management education as a discipline and introduces its three key schools of thought - Rational, Critical and Postliberal. Chapters pose reflective and provocative questions to the reader, allowing them to both understand their position within the intellectual field and develop their own research projects. Bridging the gap between discipline-specific knowledge and knowledge in teaching and learning, the book ultimately provides a fresh, nuanced perspective on the beliefs, institutions, social relations and practices of management education. Advancing The Future of Management Education Research will be an invaluable resource for scholars and students across management and management education. It will also be a vital guide for both new and experienced teachers in the field"--
