Summary: Calling for the transformation of undergraduate education, Thomas and Harney argue that the liberal arts should be integrated into the traditional management curriculum to blend technical and analytic acumen with creativity, critical thinking, and ethical intelligence. In describing their vision for a new liberal management education, the authors demonstrate how a holistic pedagogy that does not sacrifice one wealth of learning for another instead encourages participation and integration to the benefit of students and society. Global in sweep, the book provides case studies of successfully implemented experimental courses in Asia and Britain, as well as a speculative chapter on how an African liberal management education could take shape, based on African-centred principles and histories. Finally, the book argues that the stakes of this agenda go beyond mere curricular reform and pedagogical innovation and speak directly to the environmental, business, political, and social challenges we face today. - Introduces the concept of liberal management education - Provides real-world examples of how liberal management education has been successfully implemented - Gives liberal management education a global range, increasing its versatility and applicability across different cultural zones https://www.cambridge.org/in/academic/subjects/management/management-general-interest/liberal-arts-and-management-education-global-agenda-change?format=HB
