Innovating Business Education Curriculum to Prepare Future Leaders

This research aims to explore business education curriculum innovations that can prepare future leaders who are competent and adaptive to global challenges. The method used is qualitative research with an analysis unit of business education programs in universities. The design of this study uses case studies with primary data sources obtained through in-depth interviews with study program managers, lecturers, and students. Data collection techniques were carried out through semi-structured interviews and curriculum document analysis, while data analysis used a thematic analysis approach. The findings of the study show that despite some innovation efforts in the curriculum, there is still a gap between the existing curriculum and the need for leadership skills in the world of work. The contribution of this research is to provide recommendations on how the business education curriculum should be more innovative, with an emphasis on leadership development, adaptation skills, and problem-solving, to prepare future leaders who are ready to face global dynamics.
