@GerryMcGivern Sorry to hear about that. You are completely on the money. Should be a central theme for all business schools. Great way to make a difference and help bring practical skills to solving real people challenges.
@profwinikoff@AACSB@RRBMnetwork@gbsnonline@otago We looked at the general categories in mgt, mart, tourism, acct/fin. Would be keen to learn of any in econ or IS that deviate from what we found.
