Since its foundation in 1971, EFMD has maintained a resolute and firm belief in socially responsible management education. Over that period, European management educators have formed sound, balanced, and generally collaborative relationships with business, government, and civil society stakeholders who are often the providers of core funding for their universities and business schools. This worthwhile cooperation promotes greater social understanding, cultural progress, and improved levels of social and economic inclusion in society. This article sets the scene for EFMD’s view and principles for change in business schools aimed at improving quality and effectiveness.
