Business and management education must account for an ever chang- ing, dynamic and unpredictable global economy. To prepare work ready graduates, Business Schools (BSs) should adopt innovative approaches, promote Faculty Development and employ educational technologies. The study intends to identify the Teaching and learning approaches, Educa- tional technologies and Faculty Development (FD) initiatives carried out by the top 100 BSs in the world by conducting a conceptual content analysis on their websites. Experiential learning is undoubtedly the most used approach by all the BSs analysed; Educational technologies codes present less mentions; FD initiatives codes are quite present but not ubiquitous. The preliminary results obtained from the content analysis will be further investigated by the administration of an online survey addressed to instructors and deans/directors of the top 100 BSs to gather their opinions and insights about the above analysed themes and their potential impact on MBA students’ learning and employability.

Abstract
Business and management education must account for an ever chang- ing, dynamic and unpredictable global economy. To prepare work ready graduates, Business Schools (BSs) should adopt innovative approaches, promote Faculty Development and employ educational technologies. The study intends to identify the Teaching and learning approaches, Educa- tional technologies and Faculty Development (FD) initiatives carried out by the top 100 BSs in the world by conducting a conceptual content analysis on their websites. Experiential learning is undoubtedly the most used approach by all the BSs analysed; Educational technologies codes present less mentions; FD initiatives codes are quite present but not ubiquitous. The preliminary results obtained from the content analysis will be further investigated by the administration of an online survey addressed to instructors and deans/directors of the top 100 BSs to gather their opinions and insights about the above analysed themes and their potential impact on MBA students’ learning and employability.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
