It seems that not a day passes without an article about the uncertain future for higher education.  However, much of this is opinion and crystal ball gazing.  To provide clear direction for any school thinking about the future, CarringtonCrisp, the education market research specialists, working with EFMD, are planning a special new group market research study, titled 'See the Future'. 

Taking part will cost only €800.

The study will provide an overview on the future of management education from the student and business perspective – the role it should play in society, its position in higher education, the value to the potential student, the support it can provide for business and data on key trends in the marketplace. We will question four key audiences: prospective students, current students, alumni and corporates and ask these groups about five key areas:

•     attitudes to business,
•     the value of a business education,
•     sustainability and CSR,
•     internationalisation, and
•     the role of technology.

And provide reports based on audience, geography and business school, as well as a global view of the market place. The aim is to have at least 100 business schools take part and to capture the views of more than 10,000 respondents.  The study will take place in late April/early May with results from mid-late June.
