A Paradigm Shift In Jesuit Business Education: An Exploratory View From Latin America

This exploratory study identifies early reactions among the deans of Jesuit business schools in Latin America as they prepare to respond to the call set forth in An Inspirational Paradigm for Jesuit Business Education. The deans’ acceptance of the call for an educational paradigm change is unequivocal and generous. At the same time, they are aware of the diverse contexts in which they operate, as well as the specific limitations and difficulties they are experiencing within their own universities in terms of academic and financial resources in the midst of very problematic times. The collected views serve to find common ground among Latin American deans, and to explore potential routes of collaboration for paradigm change in this region of the world.
