Second, he laments the elitism in and expense of traditional management education. Third, he worries about the dominance of the marketplace, and of fashion. Fourth, he wonders whether management education is necessary at all and if it has any real value. Handy closes the article providing a list of suggestions/remedies to the four chief concerns that he describes.
