Latin American business schools have grown in scale
and quality in recent decades, yet they have received a relatively low level of
attention globally when compared to schools from other parts of the world. This book seeks to address this dearth of attention and provide an in-depth
examination of management education in the region.


The book examines the main historical, cultural, social,
political, and economic aspects of the Latin American continent and describes the evolutionary path of business education in the region until its current
state. It analyzes and interprets the major events, key issues, impact of
different actors, main changes, and "blind spots" in the evolution of
management education in Latin America over the last 10 years. It then identifies the biggest on-going challenges confronting business education on the continent
and discusses whether a Latin American model for management education is a
realistic proposition.


Finally, the book explores how the competitive environment of
business education in the region will evolve over the next 10 years, and how
these changes will influence the critical issues facing Latin American management
education.
