The Business Schools Association of Canada (BSAC) invites proposals for research, which examine the future of business education leadership and inform leaders responsible for the strategic direction of business schools in Canada. The research must be conducted within the context of a changing business and educational landscape, which includes new expectations from varying stakeholders in relation to diversity, equity, inclusion, social justice, and social impact.

This call for research aims to provide insights for business schools as they navigate the post‐pandemic society and economy and to seek to establish leadership in a critical agenda for Canada. The objective is to investigate leadership of business schools, the career advancement of deans, associate deans, department chairs, - etc. -, and how to effectively engage in succession planning to build a robust pool of business dean candidates across Canada. More research is needed to understand this unique context.

This study is supported by BSAC and funded through its grant competition program.
