Abstract: This paper aims to comprehensively understand the ongoing transformation of business schools in response to the dynamic forces of technological advancements, shifting societal expectations and evolving global business practices. This paper conducts a systematic literature review spanning 1993 to 2023, analysing 150 articles from the Scopus database. The review identifies five core themes: Business School Transformation, Governance, Business Model, Autonomy of Business School and The Rise of Education Technology (EdTech). The use of secondary data may limit understanding research methodologies, assumptions and frameworks, impacting a comprehensive grasp of individual article contributions. However, this paper contributes by offering a comprehensive overview of key themes in business school transformation over three decades, suggesting future research avenues like methodological advancements, contributions from diverse nations and exploring underdeveloped themes in business school studies.

Keywords: business school; transformation; governance; business model; education technology; systematic literature review.
