Today's business schools were designed for a world that no longer exists. Capitalism raised the standard of living for billions of people over the past 150 years, but is now causing systemic challenges it is unable to address, including climate change and inequality. In this webinar, we will discuss how we can rethink the intellectual foundations of business education, considering the models and mindset to rethink shareholder capitalism and serve society's needs.
