    IMD-Lers,

     

    I came across an article: Why some business schools are deciding to "deglobalise".  The notion is some schools such as Stanford might do better to focus on the international but on the local context, say Silicon Valley business.  What is interesting is the idea that going whole hog into globalizing a curriculum might make it a commodity since everyone is doing that.

    By the bye, I am organizing AOM (August, Anaheim) PDW doings on international collaboration in (yes!) teaching and research, and if you might like to be a presenter of your work aligning with that to a roundtable of 10 people from far-flung places let me know in the next few days.  (I will solicit a list of qualifying items from you: brief overview, etc.)

     

    Wishing a merry interterm break!
