Abstract
This chapter discusses the holistic integration approach that a management school has to adopt so that the students are equipped with enough skills and techniques to face the challenges of the varying business dynamics. There is a need for B schools to integrate academic activities with all other relevant processes such that at the end of their tenure, the students are ready to tackle issues related to society, business and technology. However, for this to happen, the B schools need to redesign their approach to designing the curriculum. Instead of designing a stand-alone curriculum, the B schools need to understand the requirements of all stakeholders, such as recruiters, business, etc. The B schools can achieve this by gaining knowledge through research, consulting and delivering through an improved pedagogy using technology. The data were collected through a case study by sending a set of questions to the participating B schools and using a secondary source to get details of their processes. The findings can be used by any other B school aspiring to produce effective managers.
