As technology reshapes society at unprecedented speed and depth, business schools are being challenged to re-examine what kind of judgment they cultivate in tomorrow’s leaders.
In the March/April 2026 issue of Harvard Business Review China, Professor Hui Kai-Lung, Associate Provost of HKUST and Director of CTBE, and Prof. Meng Zhaoli, Associate Director of CTBE, argue that the educational system producing many corporate decision-makers must also undergo a structural self-review. The authors draw on years of practice and reflection to call for a renewed value framework—“Technology–Business–Society”—that goes beyond teaching tools and techniques. Instead, they urge business schools to actively shape the direction of technology application, business progress, and social change, helping future leaders weigh impact, responsibility, and long-term consequences alongside growth. Titled “ What Kind of Judgment Are Business Schools Cultivating as Technology Reshapes Society? ”, the article invites educators and executives alike to rethink curricula, classroom cases, and governance models so that managerial judgment keeps pace with the real-world complexity created by rapid technological transformation.
