Congratulations to Kiera Dempsey-Brench School of Business, Maynooth University and co-authors, Prof. Amanda Shantz, Melissa Sayer, Shirley Kavanagh (Trinity Business School), and Assistant Prof. Janice Byrne (Ivey Business School) for being awarded the Academy of Management’s Management, Education and Development Division best paper award, which is the highest award given in this division.

The paper entitled: ‘In the eye of the storm: Turbulent times and the MBA’, demonstrates through two studies how current MBA curricula falls short at equipping students on how to anticipate and manage global challenges. However, the study evidences that there are existing programme features that can be leveraged and mobilized to address this gap.
