Low-Wage
Workers
On March 30, Aspen's Center for
Business Education launched a business faculty network on "Teaching
Business Students about Low-Wage Workers." More
than 20 business faculty from across the US participated in the
network's first web conference discussing opportunities
to integrate low-wage
employee topics into traditional business school
curricula.
Professor Zeynep Ton,
from Harvard Business School,
helped lead a lively dialogue that highlighted the
latent opportunities to teach about low-wage employees in business
school and the importance of low-wage employees to a company's operational
performance.
If you or someone you know would like
to join this network, please contact Miguel Padro at miguel.padro@aspeninst.org. |
