商学院在应对人口、可持续性和技术对商业的影响方面面临着许多挑战——这三者也是全球化的根本驱动力。人口力量正在造成全球劳动力人口和政府财政失衡；世界经济面临可持续性和气候变化挑战；技术正在加速商业变革，改变工作的性质；随着巴西、印度、中国等主要新兴经济体的崛起，全球经济正在重构。鉴于不确定的未来，本文考察了这些挑战的性质，并认为，虽然提供可衡量的全球商业知识和具体的工作技能很重要，但商学院必须关注有助于学生职业灵活性的态度、技能和知识，包括领导技能、良好的职业道德和继续学习的能力。
Business schools face a number of challenges in responding to the business influences of demographics, sustainability, and technology—all three of which are also the fundamental driving forces for globalization. Demographic forces are creating global imbalances in worker populations and in government finances; the world economy faces sustainability and climate change challenges; technology is accelerating business change and changing the nature of work; and the global economy is being re-structured with the rise of major emerging economies such as Brazil, India, and China. Given an uncertain future, this essay examines the nature of these challenges and contends that while providing measurable knowledge of global business and specific job skills are important, business schools must focus on the attitudes, skills, and knowledge helpful for student career flexibility including leadership skills, a good work ethic, and abilities to continue learning.
