In the 21st-century, we'll see an even greater convergence of applications, technologies, and companies cooperating and competing simultaneously. This is why learning to lead today requires a uniquely comprehensive approach, one that fuses the art, science, and technology of business. It is what the next generation of MBA students must learn. It’s also what top-management faculty must teach.
