If we as business educators want a safer, more equitable, more secure, more environmentally conscious and sustainable world, we need to be able to prepare our students to help build one. This is a grand challenge, however itt largely is acknowledged that how business practitioners have been trained thus far has both contributed to the less safe, less equitable, less environmentally conscious and sustainable world we have now and has not prepared them to fix it. Clearly, business needs a new way of thinking and new ways of doing, but at the same time business educators (indeed, really, all educators) need a new way of teaching, one which prepares students to address highly complex and highly interconnected issues. As this indeed could be one of the most important issues facing international business over the next fifty years, the various and unique perspectives offered by the experienced scholars and educators in this panel will discuss possible ways in which how international business students can be better prepared to the grand challenges ahead.
