A new report from the Global Foundation for Management Education finds that educators might find it difficult to keep up with changing demographics and an increasing emphasis on sustainability worldwide. For instance, in order to keep up with other associations and schools with an environmental focus, business school institutions will have to hire and train more professors and administrators, and the reports from environmental accreditation groups will become more meaningful.

To help the institutions grow, the foundation recommends that schools foster strong partnerships with environmental associations, as well as business and government leaders.


Or, you could eschew "regular" business school altogether and apply to places like the Bainbridge Graduate Institute, which integrates sustainability through every course, and maintains an overall focus on environmental and social responsibility. (Your final degree? Why, an MBA in Sustainable Business, of course).

All in all, the foundation's study seems to be a positive thing. Many business schools have the reputation of being stuffy, with older professors that have a "my way or the highway" attitude when it comes to business and management. Integrating new professors and a new emphasis on environmentalism seems to be an inevitable step, what with the way eco-consciousness has invaded our society and businesses around the world. We want the people managing these businesses to know as much about these new practices as possible, right?
