COLUMBIA, S.C., Feb. 10 -- The University of South Carolina issued the following news
release:
Dr. Hildy Teegen, dean of the Darla Moore School of Business at the University of South
Carolina, is among the authors of a groundbreaking report that addresses the current wave
of globalization and the changes and challenges it poses for business schools.
The report, "The Globalization of Management Education: Changing International
Structures, Adaptive Strategies, and the Impact on Institutions," was released Thursday
(Feb. 10) by AACSB International (The Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of
Business) at a conference of business school deans in Phoenix, Ariz.
Teegen, a member of the AACSB Globalization of Management Task Force, said business
schools must be prepared to meet the rising expectations on the part of business and
society for graduates to have greater global competencies.
"Business schools like ours at the Darla Moore School play a critical role in preparing future
business leaders to be successful in a range of institutional environments," Teegen said.
"We are fortunate to have an exceptional international business faculty to lead our efforts
here [University of South Carolina]. Most schools find they struggle with globalization efforts
as they lack capable faculty and professional staff who understand how to develop and
deliver globally relevant curricula and how to establish and build successful partnerships
with colleagues around the world."
Teegen joined several of the report's contributors on a panel that addressed the report's
key findings. Among these are guidelines for development and implementation of
curriculum design, faculty development and the cultivation of strategic partnerships in
business schools.
Also featured were Dr. Robert Bruner, dean of the Darden School of Business, University of
Virginia; Dr. Arnoud De Meyer, president of Singapore Management University; and Dr.
Pankaj Ghemawat, Anselmo Rubiralta Professor of Global Strategy, IESE Business School
at the University of Navarra (Spain).
"It was a great honor to have been chosen to participate in this important work for business
education," Teegen said. "Through the process, I was able to collaborate with leading
colleagues around the world in understanding the current state of globalization efforts
underway and how business schools' practices at once mirror and yet sometimes diverge
from leading practice among firms doing business around the world."
