We are in a new industrial revolution that requires management trainees to develop action learning from real experience within business and industry, rather than getting tied up with theory and academia  Business schools seem unable, on their own, to tear themselves away from their largely academic roots and move closer to the realities of today' s business and industry; too often, trainees in business schools find themselves studying hypothetical cases instead of real ones  Furthermore, business schools have been slow to respond to the needs of business
Ttherefore, business schools should allow business executives to set curricula for management trainees that could then be taught by academics
Academics in business schools deal only with hypothetical situations in their business case studies.
