    This is the Open Access edition of Global Focus from the European Foundation for Management Development (EFMD). Global Focus has become one of the most authoritative resources for in-depth analysis and updates on international management development. With features, topical reports, thought leadership and insight from leading experts from academia, business schools, companies and consultancies, this edition focuses on business school internationalisation.

    This eighteenth volume focuses on the impact of Artificial Intelligence (AI), with insights into topics such as the role of AI in corporate learning by Martin Moehrle, reshaping business education using hands-on AI by Ana Freire, and whether generative AI is a threat to the world of teaching and learning by Pär Mårtensson and John Mullins. The topic of the impact of business school research is explored by Kai Peters and Howard Thomas, and Usha Haley, Cary Cooper and Andrew Jack look at societal impact through sustainable scholarship. Chapters also focus on important aspects of working in business and business schools, such as Dan Pontefract’s discussion of loneliness both within and beyond the workplace and the importance of ‘finding your people’, and insights for developing an international scholar career presented by Miguel Córdova.

    This book will be of value and interest to those working in business schools and higher education leaders, as well as policy makers and business leaders seeking insight into how management education will be shaped to support business and wider society.
