Abstract

The following remarks present the background to this chapter by outlining the current debate on the integration of the humanities and social sciences into management education. Based on this outline, we establish the historical and systematic framework for an analysis of three selected reports on management education, which is subsequently presented in the manner of a recursive operation. Because the current debate shows an emerging consensus among business schools and other stakeholders of management education that the integration of the humanities and social sciences might be a productive and even necessary factor in the future of management education, the chapter as a whole aims at substantiating this consensus by applying humanities’ and social sciences’ narratological expertise to the arguments and hypotheses offered by those reports to showcase the potential of such integrational endeavours.
