Management Education in Europe and in France: Issues and Challenges

Abstract

A question like this is perennial. "Issues and challenges for management education" could have been the title of I, 5, l 0, 20, 30 past articles. Education issues are a pcnnanent field for application of intelligence ... or only for pragmatism. It is the same for management education; we could even square or cube the problem, because management is such a specific field, subject to many turbulences. Why "Europe and France"? Can we imagine that France does not belong to Europe? Can we imagine that solutions in France arc not exactly the same as in other countries ... or can we imagine that solutions in Italy; in Germany, in the U .K. and in France are not absolutely similar? The answer is "yes". This article is divided into three parts. We will start with the background of the issues, then move on to describe the Bologna process and finally present the main issues before the conclusion.
