Abstract

Management education has made a significant contribution to advance organizational development and improve business performance in the post-World War II decades. Nonetheless, there is no consensus, but rather a great deal of controversy about what to teach, about the benefits and costs, as well as about the impact of education. A considerable amount of higher education management programs advertise and claim to integrate moral, social, and ecological contents into their curricula. It is hoped that this will help to eradicate greedy and unethical business practices (Wankel and Stachowitz- Stanusch, 2011); so it is in the interest of both scholars and practitioners to further change and improve management education and training programs. This also is the purpose of this chapter and this book.
