    Building Business Education in China

    AACSB president and CEO, Lily Bi, guest-hosts this episode of AACSB Pulse, featuring Xiongwen Lu, dean of the Fudan University School of Management and an AACSB board member. From the Elevate: Asia Pacific Conference in Hong Kong, Lily and Xiongwen discuss the evolution of business education in China and how Fudan's School of Management built its programs, reputation, and industry connections over 40 years. They center their conversation on three big questions: Fudan’s School of Management recently celebrated its 40th anniversary. What do you think has driven that success, and how do you sustain momentum as the school matures? Fudan University sits at an intersection of Eastern and Western approaches to business education. What are the biggest differences and similarities between how business schools in China and the West prepare future leaders for a global economy? Fudan University has a deep tradition in the humanities and arts, while the School of Management is also investing in areas like AI, data science, and other technologies. How can these diverse disciplines work together with core business disciplines to meet the evolving needs of students, employers, and society?

    Business Schools, Rankings, and the Media

    A discussion on the power and limits of rankings, and how business schools can redefine excellence around mission, impact, and relevance. Host Eileen McAuliffe, AACSB's executive vice president, chief thought leadership officer, and managing director of EMEA, sits down with Phil Baty, chief global affairs officer at Times Higher Education, while at the World Academic Summit in Saudi Arabia. The two discuss Times Higher Education’s rankings and their influence, and how to best convey an institution’s purpose and impact to the public. They examine the following three big questions: The World University Rankings were first launched over 20 years ago. Can you talk a bit about the origins of those rankings and how they grew to be what they are today? Rankings can be a contentious issue among higher ed institutions—particularly those that aren’t often represented in the top numbers. How well do you think rankings reflect the excellence of a university? Since much of the media narrative around higher education is about cost and return on investment, how can business schools leverage their expertise in measuring value to reshape this conversation in the public sphere?

    Leading With Knowledge, Caring, and Courage

    This episode explores how identities shape the leadership experience and the role of business schools in fostering inclusive, forward-looking institutions. Recorded at the Deans Conference in Toronto, host Eileen McAuliffe, AACSB's executive vice president, chief thought leadership officer, and managing director of EMEA, sits down with Minna Martikainen, rector at the University of Vaasa, to discuss how a leader’s identity influences their actions. As two women leaders, they explore the role of gender in leadership and whether it is—or should be—a factor in leading today’s business schools and beyond. They examine the following three big questions: How much of your leadership journey has been influenced by your identity as a woman, and how has that identity influenced the way you lead? How do you make sense of the uneven progress women have experienced in leadership opportunities in recent years, and what responsibility do business schools have to sustain forward momentum globally? What actions can institutions take to ensure that more women have access to—and support in—top leadership roles worldwide?

They examine the following three big questions: How has the role of business schools changed in society, and where have you seen good examples of schools rejuvenating their curricula to align the power of business with its current role? How do you see the student-faculty dynamic evolving amid rising program costs and a growing consumerism mindset, and what can business school leaders do to better support that change?
