Latin American business schools have grown in scale and quality in
recent decades, yet they have received a relatively low level of
attention globally when compared to schools from other parts of the
world. This book seeks to address this dearth of attention and provide
an in-depth examination of management education in the region.
The book examines the main historical, cultural, social, political, and
economic aspects of the Latin American continent and describes the
evolutionary path of business education in the region until its current
state. It analyzes and interprets the major events, key issues, impact
of different actors, main changes, and "blind spots" in the evolution of
management education in Latin America over the last 10 years. It then
identifies the biggest on-going challenges confronting business
education on the continent and discusses whether a Latin American model
for management education is a realistic proposition.
Finally, the book explores how the competitive environment of business
education in the region will evolve over the next 10 years, and how
these changes will influence the critical issues facing Latin American
management education.
