Yet we know surprisingly little about the leaders of business schools. Leading A Business School demystifies this complex and dynamic role, offering international insights into deans' dilemmas in different contexts and situations. It highlights the importance of deans creating challenging and supportive learning cultures to enhance business and management education, organisations, and society more broadly. Written by renowned experts on the role of the dean, Julie Davies, Howard Thomas, Eric Cornuel and Rolf Cremer, the book traces the historical evolution of the business school deanship, the current challenges, and future sources of disruption. The leadership characteristics and styles of business school deans are presented based on an examination of different dimensions of their roles. These include issues of strategic positioning, such as financial viability, prestige, size, mission, age, location, and programme portfolios, as well as the influences of rankings, sector accreditations, governance structures, networks and national policies on strategy implementation.
