How to Reform a Business School
The Ivy League Way
Theory and Practice of Curricular Reform Implementation with an in-Depth Study of Yale School of Management Hardcover
by Ashish Jaiswal

Undoubtedly, business schools are at a crossroads and under the scanner. In How to Reform a Business School, Ashish Jaiswal meticulously demonstrates the problems plaguing the world of business schools and brings together the key contextual debates and concepts of foundational theory on the subject of reforms in MBAs.

Jaiswal makes a major methodological contribution to this little-explored field by presenting a novel exploratory framework – which employs a fresh combination of the social constructionist and implementation perspectives – to research the implementation of business school reform.

Jaiswal conducts a rigorous in-depth case study of one of the most substantial curricular and pedagogical reforms in business school history: recently undertaken by Yale School of Management.

The Yale case study illustrates the forces influencing the development of a unique integrated MBA curriculum at an Ivy League business school and presents the factors that can help business schools around the world in implementing a successful reform.
