The Centre for Independent Studies Management Education's Unanswered Questions How has management education evolved, and where is it going? This question is of crucial importance for society, says HBS professor Rakesh Khurana. Business leaders are admired yet often distrusted, and the idea of management as a profession is similarly on shaky ground—as it has been for more than 100 years. The situation may be due in large part to the role of university-based business education from the founding of the Wharton School in 1881 and continuing right up to the present. According to Khurana, the schools first emphasized that managers should carry out their work in ways beneficial for society. It has been an invisible transformation, but society and business schools themselves must grapple with it. Khurana has witnessed the transformation from both sides of the aisle. He met with HBS Working Knowledge to discuss professionalization and how business schools shape—and have been shaped by—societal forces and values. Martha Lagace: What led you into this analysis?

Rapport d'étonnement Le principe Traditionnellement, la demande de rédaction d'un rapport d'étonnement peut être adressée à un stagiaire ou à une nouvelle recrue afin de l'inviter à partager ses observations en mettant l'accent prioritairement sur les points singuliers. D'une certaine manière, on espère que "la virginité" du rapporteur sera source de créativité ou de défectuologie. Le rapport d'étonnement est finalement une boîte à idées "one shot" permettant, au rapporteur : d'être valorisé en exprimant ses points de vue et des propositions ;au(x) destinataire(s) : de faire preuve d'ouverture, de récolter des idées et, le cas échéant, de détecter des incompréhensions ou des incohérences. Conseils ou suggestions D'une part, ce sont les idées-clés et les observations singulières qui importent dans le rapport d'étonnement ; le style rédactionnel et la mise en forme sont accessoires. Une mission taillée sur mesure pour la carte mentale à 180° ou à 360°. Etonnement à propos du rapport d'étonnement !

Feedback And Recognition Most Valued In Bosses: SHL Survey - Managing people Employees value feedback and recognition more than any other attributes in their boss, according to a new survey, with Generation Y workers the most needing of praise. Talent management company SHL recently surveyed 1,299 Australians about what they view as the most important characteristics in a boss. The survey reveals employees value their bosses’ ability to give good feedback and recognition more than any other attributes. This contrasts with results of the same survey in 2010, which found that the most important characteristics in a boss were honesty and trustworthiness. SHL national director Samantha Christopher says employee expectations have changed dramatically in the space of a year, partly due to easing concerns about the global financial crisis. “We are now back to [the employee mindset of] ‘what can the organisation do for me?’ “They want to know really clearly what is expected of them and whether they are achieving it or not,” Christopher says. Give timely praise.
