Abstract
We hear much talk today of the knowledge economy. The reality is more stark—and far more complex—a world divided into haves and have-nots, a world that is not sustainable ecologically and perhaps not politically. Management education can be an important source of new ideas about shifting toward an integrated rather than fractured knowledge economy. In the following I present background arguments about the nature of the knowledge economy, highlight some current fractures in the world, and suggest possible content in environmental, societal, and business arenas for management education, which can be used to develop leaders and managers capable of taking the types of actions needed to create both ecological sustainability and an integrated knowledge world.Keywords
