Emerging topics in management studies

Abstract

In the current academic world, Management Studies occupy a prominent and seductive place. The Schools of Economics and Management are more or less attractive depending on the quality of the Management courses they offer and according to the dynamics of the relationships they establish with the business world. Communication and contact networks with companies and management hierarchies have become decisive factors in the positioning of schools and in the image they project. Whether autonomous or integrated into the educational institutions from which they rise, the Business or Executive Schools establish these synergies; they garner large amounts in own revenues and reap gains in image from their impact on the community. These recent events are reflected in any higher course in the scientific area of Business Management and put public and private schools under pressure, caught between their pedagogical objectives and the performativity of the market of teaching and advanced training services where they compete.
