moil of the last two years. Instead, the economic crises that resulted from their decisions have left many people won- dering if management educators are up to the task of producing graduates with foresight, who can think more holistically, empathically, creatively, and intuitively. We will not resolve those concerns by making only simple adjustments to the same traditional approaches. One way or another, we must create curricula that engage the whole person in the tasks of management and that produce graduates who see the opportunities in the problems they face. And that means that business school faculty will have to see themselves as more than custodians or even generators of knowledge. They will have to see themselves as designers of better knowledge delivery systems. Management is all about deal- ing with the ambiguous, complex, uncertain, and irregular. After all, the straightforward, simple, certain, and regular can be delegated to automated systems or lower-level staff. Many of the problems facing today's managers are not amenable to simple strategies or pat solutions. If our graduates are to have what it takes to solve these problems success- fully, it is our responsibility to equip them with a full arsenal of tools—including the ability to think like designers. ■z z Fred Collopy is professor and department chair of information systems at Case Western Reserve University's Weatherhead School of Management in Cleveland, Ohio.
