New Generation Management by Convergence and Individual Identity
In the era of knowledge and innovation, management education cannot be education as it was in the past. This chapter aims to contribute to the topic “New Era in International Management Education”. From the specification of new paradigms of business for the modern era, and definitions of administration, the author raises relevant convergences that necessitate new management qualifications, and so therefore, new forms of administrative education. A central convergence that is included in this chapter is the convergence that the author promotes in Bio Gerencia Virtual®: convergence of information, people and their natural environments, technology and customer orientation. In several countries, the idea of a global context is a foreign one. In this chapter the emphasis is on the challenge to be solved – making “global” synonymous with oneself or close to the human condition, sustainable and influenced largely by culture. We cannot educate for global leadership, with patterns of fragmented thought, or without awareness of satisfying own needs that alter global balance.
