The Path Ahead and Excellence in Practice

Brussels (BE), December 2010 - The latest issue of Global Focus titled "The Path Ahead" is out now, stressing two distinct but interlinked themes: the current state of business schools as businesses and the challenges of producing a new generation of business leaders.
