International Journal of Teaching and Case Studies (IJTCS), Vol. 13, No. 3, 2022

Abstract: The problem is that most of the 16,000 business schools operating across the globe today lack the knowledge and preparation needed to forge business school-industry partnerships. A literature gap exists on how business schools can provide reskilling and upskilling executive education that partners with the industry to meet the changing workforce's employability skill gaps. The purpose of this embedded, single-subject case study is two-fold: 1) describe through an exploratory case study the knowledge and preparation needed for a robust business school-industry partnership for a tailored executive education program; 2) to offer practice and policy recommendations on strengthening the business school-industry partnership bond in reskilling/upskilling in-house workforces. This study applies an archival data collection method (Yin, 2017) to describe and investigate the Bayer Active Leadership Program's development in partnership with EADA Business School presented through the lens of an innovative executive education ecosystem model grounded in concepts defined within disruptive innovation theory.
