"Don't Shut Down Business Schools-Rebuild Them For A Multipolar World"

In a commentary for Poets&Quants, S4GEO Advisory Board Chairman Rodger Baker responds to Professor Christopher Marquis’s recent call to abolish business schools, arguing that they should be rebuilt rather than closed. Rodger contends that today’s MBA programs are still preparing leaders for a post-Cold War world of steady globalization and shared rules, while the real world is becoming a more fragmented, multipolar, and unpredictable place. His solution is to make geopolitical awareness a core business skill, drawing on history, geography, the social sciences, and long-range scenario thinking so future leaders can anticipate disruption instead of reacting to it. Read the full piece on Poets&Quants to see why he believes geopolitics belongs in every business leader’s toolkit.
