Transforming Management Education: How Generative AI is Shaping the Future of Learning
Generative AI & the Future of Management Education
The rapid advancement of Generative AI, particularly tools like ChatGPT, is transforming industries worldwide. For business leaders and educators alike, understanding the impact of AI on management education is crucial, as it directly influences the skills and capabilities of the future workforce.
This study presents how AI is shaping the learning environment, the challenges it presents, and the opportunities it creates for industry professionals. Insights are drawn from a mixed-methods approach—analyzing public discourse through news articles and social media ‘X’ platform sentiment analysis, followed by expert interviews with management educators who have integrated AI tools into their teaching practices.

The analysis of news stories reveals that discussions about Generative AI’s impact are predominantly focused on the education sector, with management education being a major area of interest.
Further sentiment analysis of social media conversations provides real-time insights into how AI is perceived, highlighting both enthusiasm and scepticism about its role in business education. By integrating these quantitative insights with qualitative interviews, a comprehensive understanding emerges of how early adopters in academia view Generative AI.
While educators recognize the potential of AI to enhance engagement, personalize learning, and streamline administrative tasks, concerns remain regarding ethical considerations, assessment integrity, and over-reliance on automation.
These findings are particularly relevant for industry professionals as they highlight the evolving competencies that AI-powered education will instill in future business graduates.
For organizations, this research offers a roadmap for collaboration with academia. Businesses can engage with educational institutions to shape AI-integrated curricula, ensuring that graduates possess the analytical, ethical, and strategic thinking skills required in today’s digital economy.
