This issue of Global Focus explores the evolving landscape of business education amid rapid technological and societal change. Key articles examine the impact of AI and authoritarianism on management education, the urgent need to redefine management’s purpose for the 21st century and the growing demand for sustainability-led curricula. The issue also highlights how business schools, employers, and Gen Z are shaping the future of work, whilst additional features discuss the customisation of MBAs, the integration of AI in career services, and strategies for fostering community resilience among business school leaders. Collectively, GF aims to provide critical insights into how business schools can adapt to meet the demands of a complex, fast-changing world.
