He believes business education must be forward-focused, diverse and inclusive.
“It must incorporate a systems approach that takes account of the environmental and sociocultural challenges we are facing now and will in the future,” he says. “There must be a strong emphasis on ethics, personal development and strategies for achieving the Common Good.”
