This Global Focus issue is themed around “Miracles, Technology, and the Mind”, with a strong emphasis on how AI, cognitive pressures, responsibility, and inclusivity are reshaping management education, research, and leadership practice. The lead article argues that our collective future depends on using AI wisely, framing AI as both a technological and moral challenge for education and leadership. Several pieces probe the “attention economy” and a growing cognitive crisis, calling on business schools to address how digital overload affects learning and decision-making. Other articles focus on responsibility, strategy and societal impact, including decarbonising business schools, the “Respect Dividend” of leading with humanity, strengthening trust between schools and society, rethinking rankings, educating for “strategic competence” in a complex world, and much more.
