Management Education in France- a Critique of Its Didactic Paradigms

Abstract

This article is a critique of the didactic methods being used by management educators in France. The article explains the state-of-the-art practices in French management education, highlighting its need for providing life long education to managers and its struggle to integrate the demands and requirements of its three constituents namely the practicing world, the management education, and the corporate management development systems. The article concludes with recommendations of specific actions for the use of 'reflexivity' in improving the pedagogy and teaching management discipline by focusing on its objectives and expected outcomes of management education.
