In an article published in Education Technology Insights, School of Management Dean Astrid Sheil writes about the importance of reinvention for business and business education. In particular, Sheil explains how Simmons’ new master of science in management: business and leadership in women’s sports concentration exemplifies a reinvention strategy.
“The collaboration between and among all the various voices has created a master’s program that is more than the sum of its parts. We might have missed this opportunity had we not embraced the concepts of Reinvention. Reinvention is neither cheap nor easy to implement, and it is most definitely not a one-and-done project. It is a continuous cycle that requires the courage of business faculty and administrators to treat change as a core learning capability,” Sheil writes.
