Dr.
Charles Wankel, Peter J. Tobin College of Business associate
professor of management, delivered a keynote address during the
2010 M/O/T International Conference on Management Learning in
Vienna, Austria on December 2, 2010.
His presentation, entitled Management Education in an Epoch of
Catastrophes, provided an overview of the diverse ways that
educators should be addressing the challenge of transforming
management education and the importance that business schools
develop leaders equipped to deal with the implications of the
current global ecosystem and economic-system crisis.
This year’s Management, Organizational Development and
Technology conference highlighted new ways of teaching management
and leadership and examined new challenges for management learning
in the light of economic crisis and climate change.
Dr. Wankel’s current areas of research include cutting-edge
information technologies in managing and higher education, new
pedagogies of management education, managing geographically,
temporally distributed teams and managing for sustainability.

with Social Media, Higher Education with Social Media, Teaching
Arts and Science with the New Social Media, and Streaming Media in
Higher Education.
