Businesses constantly look for ways to achieve better performance and business schools play an
important role through their curricula by teaching such methods and helping budding and
experienced managers find innovative paths. The author of this book Prof. Peter Lorange a
well-accomplished expert at business and academic leadership draws on a set of reflections
from his vast experience in both fields to offer core messages which help in improving business
education. The author believes that experience-based reflections tend to be both more
interesting and more useful than mere chronological biographical ones or conceptual reviews
of management dimensions without links to practice. The book helps academics business school
management and even advanced students understand how to bring a practical focus to learning
and teaching business via a holistic curriculum. The book also features a special focus on how
to integrate family business perspectives to the curriculum.
