This timely book presents a nuanced exploration of the key pedagogical, theoretical and practical challenges facing modern business educators and students. Bringing together a cross-disciplinary team of experts, it highlights the importance of equipping students with the capabilities and mindset necessary to manage new and emerging societal problems.
Going beyond the traditional model of teaching only discipline-specific knowledge in business education, this book instead centres on transformation capabilities that enhance students’ current skills as well as their future potential. It analyses the diverse opportunities and challenges that this innovative style of teaching presents in the context of the business school. In particular, the book focuses on knowledge, values and action in business education, and introduces the revolutionary Nordic Nine framework created by the Copenhagen Business School.
Business Education in the 21st Century is an essential read for academics in business and management education, university management, and teaching and learning. It is also an invaluable resource for higher education teaching practitioners seeking a deeper understanding of effective practices for modern business education.

Critical Acclaim
‘A timely volume turning our gaze to character building rather than technical skills. Any technical skill has an expiry date while personal values persist. This book powerfully attests to the importance of developing responsible minds in tackling boundaryless problems and creating sustainable futures. The volume firmly places the Nordic Nine on the global map of transformative qualities to develop in the future generations of business leaders, while offering a range of practical examples of their implementation.’
