Business schools and the crisis
I have heard from a lot of people in the past month. Many of them ask me about the job market for our MBAs, our endowment, our executive education business and about our alumni whose jobs are at risk. But there are some who ask what are you doing about this? What is your role now and in the future as a business school?

Directions to Acknowledge Learners Self-organization in CSCL Macro-scripts
In this article we present a conceptual analysis of the notion of learners self-organization in CSCL macro-scripts. We highlight that taking into account self-organization as an emergent feature of activity requires considering issues such as conceptual and technological tools to support learners self-organization, maintenance of coherence between the script pedagogical objective and the emergent organization and between the technological setting and the emergent activity.
When Opportunity Knocks
In our first episode, we debunk the myth that leadership begins and ends with The Leader. Bruce Avolio, Executive Director of Foster’s Center for Leadership and Strategic Thinking will explore how the situation (whether in the form of an opportunity or challenge) may have more to do with who becomes a successful leader than the leadership qualities of a particular person. We discuss this new approach with a “headhunter;” an executive from the wild frontiers of computer gaming; Howard Beha

Abstract:
Three easily confused concepts -
Enterprise – having an idea, and taking advantage of the opportunities to make things happen

Intrapreneurs are "dreamers who do," those who take hands-on responsibility for creating innovation of any kind within an organization’. (Pinchot 1999)

In this unit it will become apparent that the most appealing quality of coal is that there is plenty of it.
