Indigenous wisdom and co-creation towards decolonisation: A review of Indigenous inclusion in management education

This review examines how Western business schools have included and excluded Indigenous people and knowledge in management education through a decolonisation lens. A growing but disparate body of scholarly work reveals how business schools have largely ignored colonisation. Our systematic literature review of 59 articles published from 1996 to 2024 centred on Indigenous wisdom and communities in management education identifies gaps and explores opportunities. We conclude that management educators need to build upon concepts of self-determination; truth-telling and trust-building; appreciation and transformative reconciliation. We argue a relational ontology based on shared, critically reflective and co-created practices is critical to decolonising management education. JEL Classification : I23, I24, M14
