The global environment today is dotted by dynamic, complex and incessant political and technological changes. On the one hand, we have the onset of de-globalization, marked by tariff impositions and trade wars among once economically-friendly nations. On the other hand, technology is disrupting industries and business models in hitherto unimaginable ways, making it difficult for businesses to rely on conventional wisdom and historical precedents to take decisions. Business schools themselves are not insulated from this reality, with technology-driven Massive Online Open Courses (MOOCs) leading the way in rendering certain aspects of campus learning experience irrelevant. As suppliers of talent to organizations, business schools are at crossroads to critically examine the strategic management curriculum with a view to preparing graduates with skills and competencies required to manage and lead organizations of the future. On the one hand, there is a confluence of ideas in Strategic Management with adjacent fields like Business Models, Entrepreneurship and Design Thinking both drawing from and contributing to the body of knowledge. On the other hand, changes in demography, learning patterns, and attention spans have made it imperative to identify and adopt novel pedagogical approaches to prepare millenials with the requisite skills demanded by the job market of the future. The 20th annual convention of the Strategic Management Forum hopes to be a platform in leading this discussion on how the academic ecosystem, and Strategic Management professionals in particular, can respond to these changing realities. The theme for the convention is “Strategy, Innovation and Entrepreneurship Curriculum in an Era of Disruption”.
With the intention of inductively capturing various sources of disruption, we invite papers from distinguished academics and industry professionals on the following indicative sub-themes of the convention:
