Voices of Practitioner Scholars in Management narrates the unique history and deep impact of the Doctor of Management (DM) Programs, initially called the Executive Doctor of Management (EDM) Program, on students, alumni and their practices, and the lives of involved faculty. Most of the time the impact of new educational innovations like the DM Program, which began 25 years ago, are reported in number of degrees, number of articles, and other forms of scholarly impact such as citation numbers.

Behind those numbers, which are significant among the students and alumni of the DM Programs, are real stories of people, their aspirations, struggles, failures, successes, and hopes. In their narratives, we can find the lived experiences of people being transformed, changing careers and life trajectories, and acting and thinking in specific circumstances to change themselves, others or the contextual environments in which they exist. This book reveals voices of those people.
