Wiring the academy (panel session): what's working, what's not, what's next, and why

The network era of computing is and will profoundly change the conduct of management education. It offers opportunities for building new types of learning relationships among faculty, departments, colleges, students, and the corporations who employ business graduates. The challenges of funding and leading organizational change at the academy to seize these opportunities, however, are quite daunting. While successes with particular courses, student groups, or executive education programs abound, few business schools have succeeded with large scale IT implementation and the cultural changes necessary to thrive and lead in the network era of computing. This set of changes is referred to as wiring the academy.
