North America stands as the Mecca for management. It took less than a century for American Management to establish itself as a leader in both practice and academia. As a result, Business and Business Education throughout the world are strongly influenced and to a large extent dominated by the US. Will this remain so? Could it be that some of the various criticisms periodically formulated from within the US academic community itself and most often targeted at the MBA, the most visible symbol of American management education, would turn out to undermine an otherwise quite successful model? Could the model also be affected by some of the rare but incredibly damaging scandals of the beginning of the 21st century (unethical behavior, inappropriate governance, top management and board greediness, etc.)?
