New School Thinking

“there are no inputs from outside and no outputs to the outside; indeed there is no outside at all” (Boulding, 1966, p.2),

“It is quite simple wrong to regard action on the psyche, the socius, and the environment as separate…[to present these areas as if they are separate is]…acquiescing to a general infantilisation of opinion” (Guattari, 1989, pp.134)

Mutual embedding may be “so obvious…all human organisations are embedded within the natural environment and all of those which have human managers and other employees, also contain the natural environment in their respective biophysical bodies” (Starik & Kanashiro, 2013, p.8/9)

Where our MBA is going….

We are all no more physical than we are digital

An MBA that works for me as I study(authentic assessment)

An MBA that fits lifestyles (digital/physical – flexible delivery)

MBA that fits my hopes and dreams as a whole human being not a partial one

An MBA that can come to me (I don’t find it, it finds me)
