I have been invited to write a book by NOVA Publishing about the ways in which Business Schools should evolve in order to make business education more relevant to the issues facing the modern business world. What do you consider to be the major issues that should be included in such a book? What problems are business schools not facing adequately? What are business schools doing well that should continue to be their areas of emphasis?
I think the biggest issue facing business is business through internet.
Colleagues:
Here are the tentative chapter headings. Please critique.

Book Chapter Headings
Introduction and Overview – The Challenge Facing Business Schools
The Purpose of a Business Education – The Current State of Business Schools
The Failures of the Past – Root Causes of Today’s Issues
Values in Conflict -- The Instrumental and the Normative
Evidence-Based Reality – An Academic Oxymoron
Humility in Teaching and the Arrogance of the Learned
The Ethical Obligation – Honoring the Moral Obligation and Covenantal Duty
Humility in Teaching and the Arrogance of the Learned
Redefining Business Education – What’s the Goal?
Values-Based Teaching and Redefining the Future
The book should also include an early chapter about the state of current business school education. It is only right to "give credit where credit is due" in this book.
Are there any other suggestions for chapters?
