The Job Market for MBAs is About to Take a Hit - Walter Frick - Harvard Business Review - 0 views

  •  
    The decline in demand for MBA's coupled with the overly optimistic interest in STEM is symptomatic of a bigger problem which is the fragmentation of business disciplines and the latent need for a new School of Innovation at universities that would be a professional school similar to law and medicine to educate a new group of leaders who are innovators. Innovators are T-shaped people with broad knowledge in STEM, marketing, finance, law, and operations and deep knowledge and experience in at least one discipline. Innovators learn a new fourth generation (4G) of innovation theory and practice that includes upgrades in disciplines such as finance to measure intangible capital that drives innovation more than tangible capital, upgrades in marketing to more effectively discover latent market opportunities with analytic big data insights tested with experiential intervention experiments, upgrades in entrepreneurship that operates inside an existing company, and the skilled capability to create and operate innovation hubs such as the new Department of Energy innovation hubs required to transform industries with radical innovation governed by new dominant designs. The 21st century is the Age of Innovation and we need innovation to be a new professional discipline supported by new Schools of Innovation and a career path in companies leading to the Chief Innovation Officer, which was first defined in the 1998 book, Fourth Generation R&D.

Beyond Rigor - Hybrid Pedagogy - 0 views

  • What is rigorous, then, is not process but our curious examination of the (unforeseen, unexpected) results and their effectiveness.
  • Engaged: Meaningful work
  • Dynamic

  • Curious: A rigorous curiosity underpins the most fruitful work scholars do.
  • Better that we model our passion to know something thoroughly than to merely transmit content or knowledge.
  • a series of iterative experiments.
  • a resolution to the inquiry
  • Derivative
  • Critical: We can’t be afraid to critique our own circumstances, our own context.
  • attentive and alive, responsive
  • Cormier suggests rhizomatic education — constructing and negotiating community knowledge through a series of interdependent nodes — as a pedagogical solution within quickly changing fields of information. In other words, by connecting to each other, no matter our expertise or station, knowledge grows.
  • We may provide the content, but this is no different today than scattering LEGOs on a table: what happens next is not up to us
  • from a traditional model of schooling to one more compatible with the realities of the digital landscape. Experimentation, inquiry, and play are both the research tools we must use to create online and hybrid classrooms, and also the methodologies best employed within those classrooms.
  • Testing and canonical content are less vital to the new media landscape than interactivity, play, and relevant application.
  • that students “show up,” be curious, collaborate, and contribute.
  • The digital has reminded us that learning happens unexpectedly, and so should our approach to learning be unexpectant. We must return play to education, to pedagogy, and to all scholarly practice.
  • Field Notes for 21st Century Literacies: This book was produced by graduate students in a course with Cathy N. Davidson. The text of the work is itself rigorous, but what we find most intensely rigorous is the way the reader is brought into the book’s ongoing creation through simultaneous publishing on communal platforms like Rap Genius, HASTAC, GitHub, and Google Docs.
