Abstract
Whilst preceding scholarships globally discourse on “management education, its pros, cons and challenges” for Higher education, there is incontestably a dearth of scholarship in the context of the Faculty of Business and Entrepreneurship at the National University of Samoa. Naz et al. (2015) study deliberated on the South Pacific context and based on the review of the literature and theoretical underpinnings, proposed a research model for future empirical discourse. The purpose of this scholarship however, is to enlighten scholars on management education as a contemporary theme of discourse and drawing from the analyses of the literature elucidate the trends in management education, illuminate the justification for taking the plunge on management education, proposing key challenges and lessons for the Department of Management, Tourism and Hospitality in the Faculty of Business and Entrepreneurship at the National University of Samoa as it charts its way forward in the international platform. This scholarship seeks to fill in the research gap by exploring how operative changes at the institutional level in management education can enable the Faculty to strategically profile and position itself to reap the innumerable benefits from globalisation and the tech revolution.
