Why the geographic perspective and geospatial technologies are critical to 21st century education and society.  Five converging global trends – geo-awareness, geo-enablement, geotechnologies, citizen science, and storytelling – offer opportunity for geographic content, skills, and perspectives to be taught in Colleges/Schools of Business. Curriculum focused on managing supply chains, selecting optimal retail sites, analyzing target markets, assessing risk, and other content taught in Schools of Business and through online courses including MOOCs can be enriched through GIS and the geographic perspective. Join Geographer Joseph Kerski as we discuss these societal and educational trends, why they matter, and why ignoring them would be like “sleepwalking into the future.”
