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.
