The New Schools of Tomorrow - The D School

The future of business world no longer rest on the B school or the Tech School.  However, high tech has become commoditized and experts agree that high tech can no longer be sustained because of the rapid pace of technical innovation.  According to Michael Dell, the inventory of high tech components are as volatile/perishable as the vegetables in a refrigerator:   They have very short shelf life and their costs/price are going down very rapidly.  Margins are decreasing in high tech sector.

The area which will differentiate business in 2lst century shall be design and creativity.

B schools will have lesser importance.  The more important schools will be the D school.  Like the Stanford Design School.

But we can incorporate D thinking in B schools. Can't we? What do you think
