Abstract
There is consensus that higher education institutions in post-industrial economies are experiencing a general crisis, expressed in their lack of flexibility to address contemporary challenges and rapidly changing needs (as touched upon in Chaps. 1–3). A literature review shows that the debate on cross-, inter-, multi-, and transdisciplinary education is still raging among academics (Kozma, 2005). Within this debate a theme has emerged during the last decade for schools of art, design, engineering & applied sciences, centered around the subject of enabling innovation and positive world transformation by design.

This encourages leaders to serve others while staying focused on achieving results in line with a broad view to business and society, i.e. they conceive innovative ideas, collaborate with a variety of stakeholders, and facilitate to realize changes.”
