A compilation of thought-worthy essays from the faculty and staff of the U.S. Army's premier educational institution for civilian leadership and management, the Army Management Staff College.
The Information and Communication Technology revolution results in profound changes to the heart of business and economics. Changes in the workplace, new communication technology, new organizational structures, and new production technologies force business educators to renew their focus on the curricula of business schools.

The fifth volume in the series Educational Innovation in Economics and Business contains a unique selection of articles addressing various issues on how business education should adapt to changing needs of the corporate world.
