Abstract
Executive education (EE) institutions are still recovering from the financial crisis which haunted companies and countries in the 2007–2012 period. This period refers to a time in which the majority of companies suffered so severely from the poor economic environment that expenditure on EE was the first item to be cut in the budget. In the aftermath of this crisis, several schools folded, or embarked on merger and acquisition activities to ensure survival, exemplified by the recent Hult and Ashridge merger in 2014 (cf. Bradshaw, 2014).
