THE EDIFY EDU EUROPEAN REPORT
The EDIFY EDU European report provides an overview of the history and evolution of undergraduate business management education, tracing its roots to classical management theory and scientific management, with a specific focus on Ireland, Finland, Germany, Greece and Italy.
It also analyses EDI in the curriculum and its effects on the labour market and gender. Despite globalisation and advances in the way of doing business, undergraduate business management education continues to perpetuate labour market segregation and discrimination based on gender and other intersectionalities. Women continue to experience significant barriers in employment, particularly in leadership roles.
