It came in medical education first but has rapidly spread to other professional disciplines in higher education such as the sciences, engineering, nursing, social work, and even more recently, the liberal arts. There seem to be virtually no disciplinary limits to what PBL has to offer. So it is not surprising that management education, which has been repeatedly criticized in recent years, has also been a discipline where PBL and other pedagogical innovations have begun to grow. This special issue was undertaken to publicize and accelerate the growth of PBL in management education. PBL is not the only response to new societal needs that are emerging from a world of new technologies, increasing rates of change, and state changes in levels of complexity. Organizations need people skilled in teamwork and leadership, communication, critical thinking, and dealing with unstructured problems.
