Reviews
'This book emphasizes how business schools might be better led! The various examples are particularly helpful. All in all, a must for academic leaders, including those who want to prepare themselves for such roles.' Peter Lorange, President, Lorange Institute of Business
'Business schools are facing unprecedented change and new challenges. More than ever, schools need a sense of mission that explains inside and outside why the school actually exists, and a clear strategy. Fragueiro and Thomas' book offers a deep, innovative and well-articulated model of business school's leadership in this context. This excellent text offers extremely useful ideas for deans and university presidents.' Jordi Canals, Dean and Professor of General Management, IESE Business School
'A very thoughtful book on how to transform business schools for the future through strategic leadership processes (SLP). In particular, Fragueiro and Thomas demonstrate the critical role of the dean as the Chief Transformation Officer through case studies and personal experiences. Strategic Leadership in the Business School is a must-read for business school deans as well as provosts and presidents of universities globally.' Jagdish N. Sheth, Charles H. Kellstadt Professor of Marketing, Emory University
