...

At the 2013 conference, delegates from over 30 countries discussed the role of business education, technology and the global community in improving access to high quality, locally relevant business education, with a particular focus on the critical unemployment levels in the MENA region.

"The last three days have been extraordinary," said Guy Pfeffermann, CEO and founder of GBSN. "More than 160 women and men of good will, most of them deans and senior business school faculty, came together to discuss how management education can generate jobs and lift people, especially young people, out of poverty. We talked about innovations in technology and education, about the impact that business education can have, and about how to grow local management schools that answer pressing problems of unemployment in the developing world. Seeing participants from five continents working together to address these challenges gave me renewed optimism about the future."...

INSEAD research: governments need to accept higher investment into new green technologies as well as some protectionism to complement carbon taxes and “cap-and-trade” systems.

April 8, 2013, The Carbon Conundrum

By David Hemous, Assistant Professor of Economics and Political Science with Chris Howells, Deputy Editor. INSEAD Knowledge.

To reduce emissions in a meaningful way, governments need to accept higher investment into new green technologies as well as some protectionism to complement carbon taxes and “cap-and-trade” systems.

U.S. President Barack Obama wants the U.S. Congress to revive a failed “cap-and-trade” bill that would put the U.S. on the road to an environmental policy – a policy departure for the country that stands out as the leading industrial power without one.  Obama wants it so much he warned Congress in his recent State of the Union speech that if they failed to form a market-based solution to climate change, he would go it alone.

Actually, Obama is not “alone” among leaders in this regard: with no global agreement in sight, countries too, are already acting unilaterally to reduce carbon emissions. Carbon markets have been established in Europe, Australia, California, China and South Korea. But carbon taxes or “cap-and-trade” systems are only half of the battle, according to INSEAD Assistant Professor of Economics and Political Science, David Hemous....

"By almost any market test, economics is the premier social science," Stanford University economist Edward Lazear wrote just over a decade ago. "The field attracts the most students, enjoys the attention of policy-makers and journalists, and gains notice, both positive and negative, from other scientists."

...

Triumphalism like that calls for a comeuppance, of course. So, as the nation's (and a lot of the world's) economists gather this weekend in San Diego for their annual hoedown, it's worth asking: Are there any signs that the imperialist era of economics might finally be coming to an end?...

blog.okfn.org, December 17, 2012, First Open Economics International Workshop

On 17-18 December, economics and law professors, data publishers, practitioners and representatives from international institutions will gather at Emmanuel College, Cambridge for the First Open Economics International Workshop. From showcasing the examples of successes in collaborative economic research and open data to reviewing the legal cultural and other barriers to information sharing, this event aims to build an understanding of the value of open data and open tools for the economics profession and the obstacles to opening up information in economics. The workshop will also explore the role of greater openness in broadening understanding of and engagement with economics among the wider community including policy-makers and society.

This event is part of the Open Economics project, funded by the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation and is a key step in identifying best practice as well as legal, regulatory and technical barriers and opportunities for open economic data. A statement on the Open Economics Principles will be produced as a result of the workshop...

The event is being organized by the Centre for Intellectual Property and Information Law (CIPIL) at the University of Cambridge and Open Economics Working Group of the Open Knowledge Foundation and is funded by the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation. More information about the Working Group can be found online.

Study by INSEAD and Booz&co

The State of the European Union conference was fuelled by a study led by INSEAD and Booz&Company, which focused on the attractiveness of Europe as it is perceived by leading executives and decision-makers worldwide.

The objective of this survey is to better understand how European business leaders view the key decisions that the EU should take going forward on the economy, on social and political issues, and on the international scene. The analysis is based on an online survey sent to more than 30,000 European executives, and supplemented by interviews with European thought leaders.

The results of this study were released and debated by a panel of worldwide senior executives during The State of the European Union Forum on 31 May 2012.

Dean Santiago Iñiguez (IE) - New perspectives on ‘Reinventing Higher Education’ - University World News

University World News, 18 November, 2012 (photos added) (conference www.rhe.ie.edu)

For the first time, the annual international conference on “Reinventing Higher Education” gave prominence to the rapidly transforming Arab world. Changes in the higher education landscape – driven by new technologies, shifting global forces and funding cuts – were other trends debated.

The event took place from 22-23 October at Madrid-based IE University, which is a private non-profit business owned by the Instituto de Empresa SL.

“The idea is to look at the university as a whole from all angles, and try to suggest reforms for the future, for the better,” said Santiago Iñiguez, president of IE University and chair of the conference.

He pointed out that the Arab world comprises more than 400 million people in 22 countries and is experiencing profound transformation. It was significant, he said, that this change “is being supported by both public and private institutions, including individual philanthropists”.

“Philanthropy has been increasing in the Arab world, as 40- to 50-year-olds who, for example, have been very successful bankers, saw that guys of 18 were willing to give their lives for change and then thought, ‘What can I do?’” said Salah Khalil, director of the Alexandria Trust, which contributes to restoring world-class standards in education across the Arab region. (DeansTalk, October 23, 2012)

“Everyone was really excited about the Arab Spring but the reality of the situation is that we need an ‘Educational Spring’,” said Khalil.

“This is because ‘perverse institutionalism’ persists in the Arab world, whereby an organisation, whether it is a mosque or a university department, is set up to do something – and it does the exact opposite. Our biggest challenge is to create structures that can change this.”...

We may be happy to eat the food that multinationals make, and fly in their aircraft, and even take the pills they have invented. But many of us say we don’t trust corporations, and we don’t trust the people who lead them. Some are even willing to go out onto the streets to make this clear. It seems to me that now is the time for corporations and their leaders to be more explicit and transparent about their purpose and goals.

To do this, corporations have to address three questions: how is leadership ensuring there is sufficient inner resilience to take the corporation through these turbulent times? What is the corporation doing to positively anchor itself in its neighborhood and supply chains? And what role is it playing in solving global challenges such as climate change, endemic youth unemployment, and inequality?

 Some leaders are already stepping up. When Unilever’s CEO Paul Polman committed to significantly reducing the environmental footprint of his corporation, he was making a purposeful statement about climate change. When Danone’s CEO Franck Riboud committed over seventy million euros to the Danone.Communities project (www.danonecommunities.com), he was making a purposeful statement about the role of the corporation in society. When the CEOs of Indian IT giants Infosys, TCS and Wipro built a host of ways to educate Indian children, they were making a statement about their role in India.

These role models are crucial. We need to see more – and at scale!..

How would you define a good life? It’s a bafflingly tough question. An even tougher one: does the economy we have today value such a life? Does it help us create one?

Here’s what I see when I look not just at the surface, but deep inside the heart of the economy today:

Instead of an “energy industry,” I see a resource addiction that saps money and preserves self-destructive expectations. I see, instead of food and education “industries,” an obesity epidemic and a debt-driven education crisis. Instead of a pharmaceutical industry, I see a new set of mental and physical discontents, like rates of suspiciously normally “abnormal” mental illnesses and drugs whose lists of “side effects” are longer than the Magna Carta. Instead of a “media industry,” I see news that actually misinforms instead of enlightening – rusting the beams of democracy – and entertainment that merely titillates.

In short, I see an outcomes gap: a yawning chasm the size of the Grand Canyon between what our economy produces and what you might call a meaningfully well-lived life, what the ancient Greeks called eudaimonia...

Rick Wartzman - Is there really a movement building to counter "Maximizing Shareholder Value" - Drucker Society Europe Blog

Boswell and the Making of a Secret American History.

Last January, a group of leading management thinkers gathered in Switzerland to “see what can be done to . . . energize organizations in ways that make them better for the organizations themselves, better for the people doing the work, better for those for whom the work is being done and better for society as a whole.”

Next April, a group called Conscious Capitalism expects to draw some 1,500 people to San Francisco to explore how companies can “adopt a higher purpose that transcends profit maximization.”

And in between, hundreds will convene in Vienna on November 15 and 16 for the fourth Global Peter Drucker Forum, which will examine how business can become, as Unilever Chief Executive Paul Polman (one of the forum speakers) puts it, “a force for good.”

As I’ve watched these events come together-and heard similar notions about rethinking capitalism from David Cooperrider (Business as an Agent of World Benefit), Michael Porter (Shared Value), Dov Seidman (HOW) and others-I’ve felt buoyed by each of their visions.

And I’m sure that Peter Drucker would have felt good about them, too. He believed, after all, that the best corporations “define an organizational purpose that goes beyond next-quarter financial results and goes beyond maximization of shareholder wealth.”

Still, deep down, I have to admit that I’m struggling to understand the import of it all: Does this flurry of activity add up to more than a bunch of scattered conferences and white papers? Are we actually witnessing the beginnings of a social movement?

The debate about shareholder capitalism has an unfortunate habit of becoming a clash of absolutes. In the 1980s and 1990s Michael Jensen and his followers argued that shareholder value was the secret sauce of management. In the wake of the 2007-8 financial crisis many influential management theorists declared that the secret sauce was in fact a deadly poison. The search is now on for a better way of measuring success and motivating managers.

There is no doubt that the cult of shareholder value produced perverse results. The fashion for linking remuneration to share prices allowed bosses to manipulate their shareprices to boost their income. The emphasis on short-term results rather than long-term health tempted companies to skimp on research and innovation (‘long term results cannot be gained by piling short-term results on short-term results’ Peter Drucker once remarked). There have been so many examples of the destructive side of share-holder capitalism that many of its high-priests have turned against it: even Jack Welch has pronounced that it is ‘the dumbest idea on the planet’.

But there is a danger of going too far in the opposite direction. None of the alternative systems of measurement that people have come up with are very compelling. One idea is ‘customer satisfaction’. But isn’t the best way to please customers to give everything away for nothing? And how can customer satisfaction take into account the interests of the people who risk their capital by investing in the company? Another idea is to rely on the judgement of managers. But isn’t this tantamount to allowing children to mark their own homework? It is odd that people who worry that shareholder value has been manipulated by managers for their own benefit should argue that managers should be given more power rather than less.

Giddens served as Director of the London School of Economics 1997–2003, where he is now Emeritus Professor

Giddens at 2008 Skoll World Forum: ...known for his theory of structuration and his holistic view of modern societies.

YouTube, Feb 2010 (www.theclimategroup.org): In The Politics of Climate Change, Lord Giddens argues that we do not have a systematic politics of climate change. Politics as usual won't allow us to deal with the climate change problems we face, while the recipes of the main challenger to orthodox politics, the green movement, are flawed at source. In this book, Lord Giddens introduces a range of new concepts and proposals to fill in the gap, and examines in depth the connections between climate change and energy security.

"Entrepreneurship and bad public policy" (paper from WEF 2008)

By Prof. Scott Shane, The Weatherhead School of Management, Case Western Reserve University, USA

"Why encouraging more people to become entrepreneurs is bad public policy" (PDF, 18 pages)

(page 12, 3): Instead of just believing naively that all entrepreneurship is good, policy makers need to recognize that only a select few entrepreneurs will create the businesses that will take people out of poverty, encourage innovation, create jobs, reduce unemployment, make markets more competitive, and enhance economic growth. Therefore, as unfair as it might sound, policy makers need to “stop spreading the peanut butter so thin.” They need to recognize that all entrepreneurs are not created equal. They need to think like venture capitalists and concentrate time and money on extraordinary entrepreneurs, and worry less about the typical ones. That means identifying the select few new businesses, out of the multitude of start-ups created each year, which are more productive than existing companies, and investing in them.

...

(p13) So what should policy makers be doing instead? They should reallocate resources to programs that support high growth companies. For instance, in the United States, policy makers could shift money into the Small Business Innovation Research Program (www.sbir.gov)...

IE Professor Lucy P. Marcus, conference "Future proofing the board" 2011, Thinkers50 Future Thinker Award

Which thinker has emerged over the last two years with the potential to change the world of theory and practice?  The answer to this question posed by Thinkers50 is Lucy P. Marcus, the Anglo-American board chair and non-executive director who challenges conventional wisdom both inside and out of the boardroom.

9 Dec EVENT: Future proofing the board was the topic of a dynamic debate hosted by IE Business School in London last Tuesday night. IE Dean Santiago Iñiguez de Onzoño used the opening line of Dickens’ A Tale of Two Cities to aptly set the scene “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times”.

Chaired by Professor Lucy Marcus, IE brought together a panel of opinion leaders to discuss the evolving role of the board and how boardroom agendas must adapt to our changing times.

Professor Marcus opened the discussion with reference to her belief that the role of modern corporate boards is the juxtaposition of traditional roles and strategic ‘stargazing’. Traditionally boards focus on finance, corporate governance, compliance, corporate risk, etc. Stargazing is where a board focuses on the organization’s strategy - is it robust, resilient and, as the panel put it, capable of responding to Donald Rumsfeld’s “known and unknown unknowns”?
