A Framework for Implementing the Inspired Paradigm for Jesuit Business Education

Changing the curriculum is not a task that most business schools would call “easy.” Yet curricular revision is more important than ever, as the need for social change — and the need for forward-thinking future leaders who will help to execute it through compassionate business practices — become impossible to ignore. Inspired by the power of Jesuit institutions to generate transformational programs that support communities and drive positive societal change, this essay presents a practical, change-management-derived process that Jesuit schools can use to align their curricula with the ideas in “An Inspirational Paradigm for Jesuit Business Education.” The essay concludes with examples of recent large-scale change from the Gabelli School of Business at Fordham University.
