Leadership of Business Schools: Perceptions, Priorities and Predicaments

UK business schools have grown rapidly over the last forty years. They account for a substantial proportion of students and overall income (especially from overseas), with one in seven undergraduates and one in five postgraduates studying business and management related subjects. Underlying this robust picture, where business schools are integral to their universities' successes, some interesting issues arise about the future for business schools and particularly the leadership pipeline. Business schools, like other professional schools in universities face a challenging, complex and ambiguous future and there appears to be a limited pool of candidates applying to become deans. This report was produced in conjunction with the Association of Business Schools (ABS).
