This exciting book explores the role of business schools through 3 key dimensions:
- How business school legitimacy has been challenged by the recent economic crisis and corporate scandals;
- How schools contribute to shaping and transforming business conduct; and
- How institutions, past and present, develop their identities to face the challenges presented by the ongoing globalization process.
Combining global perspectives from business school Deans, scholars and stakeholders, this book presents a unique discussion of the current and future challenges facing business schools and their contributions to society.

Plant's "cyberfeminist rant", as William Gibson calls it, attempts to demonstrate that women have always used technology. You won't find victims here, rather women who were empowered by the technological innovations in their lives. What emerges is a very nontraditional feminist picture, one in which women are neither bystanders nor victims but are in many ways the unsung heroes of technical innovation. The author also points to a future where, within the zeros and ones of cyberspace, many dichotomies such as life/machine, let alone male/female, may blur in unexpected ways.
After the 2008 crisis, the private sector has been more than ever under the public limelight. In the midst of this debate, one central issue seems to be how business schools develop and foster management models that shape how businesses behave. This book finally opens the possibility to reflect on the multiple forms in which business schools are contributing to society
