In the network economy, concepts of management knowledge, management learning, and business school organization should change, otherwise, they will not survive the 21st century. Different (f)actors are putting new demands upon providers of management education and traditional providers of management education are faced with new competitors. Moreover, the dynamics of the playing field have changed, as have approaches to (management) learning. This text proposes the idea of networked business schools to cope with these challenges. The book deals with the following subjects: current economic and organizational realities can best be viewed from the perspective of network organization - management knowledge and education should reflect these transformations to survive; the idea and organization of (management) learning are revolutionizing, as well as the market for (management) education, which brings about huge changes for business schools; business schools, particularly, should capitalize on these transformations and should strategically (re)organize and (re)position to compete in the playing field for management education; a networked learning environment is an integrative and effective learning environment for organizing management education in the 21st-century network economy; the networked business school is the organizational form to survive in the 21st century network economy, reflecting the environmental changes and demands, and to realize a competitive edge in the field of management education.
