Aspen CBE Launches
Access Teaching Module
Aspen CBE is pleased to announce
the creation of a new teaching module on
Access. The teaching module is part of a suite of
materials that also features a Closer Look at Business
Education on ethical globalization. A web conference
on the same topic is planned for the fall.
Access, to new markets and materials, to new
sources of labor and information, to new communities and new
ideas, is crucial to business, and can also serve as a way to
spread the benefits of economic development to people and
their communities.
The teaching module
integrates a series of questions from across the business
school to further understanding of the underlying dynamics of
access operating in multiple contexts and to connect formerly
disparate dilemmas about managing globally. It examines the
risks, benefits and potential of access for outsourcing, new
markets, microfinance for the poor, information and
innovation, and for the intersection of business and
society.
