Abstract
This essay uses the metaphor of pedestrians on the information superhighway to bring out the impending dangers of being a walker on a road intended for quick-moving traffic. Drawing on the metaphor, the author addresses three dangers as challenges to current practices of management education: (a) obsolescence: keeping pedagogy apace with new knowledge realities; (b) slowness: appropriately integrating new communication technologies into pedagogy; and (c) constrained choice: designing institutional arrangements to encourage pedagogical innovation.Keywords
