Shaping the Future of Business Education
Two dozen professors and business-school leaders on preparing tomorrow’s leaders through a fusion of business knowledge with the arts, sciences and ethics.
About the book
This book, edited by me and Gordon Hardy, comes out of my thesis that business studies and the arts and sciences create a natural educational fusion that, when combined, produce better business leaders and better researchers and teachers in the liberal arts and business. The audience is primarily educators.
Praise
“This important and illuminating book … I heartily recommend it to you.”
Eric Cornuel, then CEO and Director General of EFMD (The European Foundation for Management Development)

About Daniel Everett
I came to linguistics serendipitously. Growing up in Holtville, California, near the Mexican border, I heard Spanish all around me, though I expected to become a musician rather than a scientist. On a school-band trip to Hollywood, I saw My Fair Lady and became fascinated by Henry Higgins. The film’s linguistic consultant, Peter Ladefoged, later became my friend and co-author.
A few years later, I moved to Brazil with SIL International, with which I am no longer affiliated, and earned my doctorate in linguistics at the University of Campinas. Beginning in 1977, I spent many years living and conducting field research among Indigenous communities in the Brazilian Amazon.
