    Dear Colleagues,

     

    We at Boston University School of Management along with a set of global sponsors are embarking on a first-ever global conversation on the future of business education from Sept 30-October 2, over 60 consecutive hours to harness the collective power of minds around the world.  We are involved in this because we believe that we need to systematically take stock of the challenges facing our profession and develop new and innovative ways to contribute to educating next-generation managers and pursue research programs that impact global businesses going forward.  The expertise and experience of the Academy of Management's members will provide a crucial perspective. We need your participation.

     

    A Business Education Jam overview and themes is attached for your information. 

     

    The Jam is free and participants can log in from anywhere-from just a few minutes to several hours-to take the world stage in this groundbreaking event. Powerful analytics will visualize trends and themes so the conversation stays on track and you can draw on the most actionable ideas afterwards.

     

    We are inviting you to participate and have your voices heard.  Help us take this global brainstorm to the next level.

    You can get involved and help further propel the Business Education Jam by:

     

    Thank you for considering becoming a part of this very special conversation that holds the promise of making a lasting impact on business schools and businesses around the world.   

     

    Best,
