If you are still interested in discussing a potential Faculty Network, please contact Laurie Ginsberg.

 

We connect faculty doing innovative work in business schools.

Our faculty networks cultivate new curriculum and emerging research agendas.

 

In a nutshell, the goal of Aspen CBE is to leverage the tremendous power of business education to make the world a better place. Many Aspen CBE programs work at a distance – school rankings, online case libraries, or faculty awards, for example. However, we find that some of our most important work comes from bringing small groups of people together, in person, to make transformative innovations in teaching and research. We call these transformative groups Faculty Networks. We believe Faculty Networks can:

 

  • find new ways to integrate social and environmental issues into core teaching and research
  • develop new teaching materials and methodologies
  • act as a catalyst for communities and networks of faculty that will provide ongoing support after the formal program ends
  • encourage more doctoral students and junior faculty to focus their research on social and environmental themes
  • encourage research that is responsive to current felt needs among business practitioners

 

Our Faculty Networks include:

•  Corporate Governance and Accountability Program (CGA) -Moving alternative theories of corporate governance from the periphery to the core of business education

 

•  Teaching Innovation Program (TIP) - A collaboration between leading graduate business schools and corporations, focused on how social issues are taught in the classroom

 

•  TIP India - A network of Indian business educators to focus on bringing social and environmental issues into mainstream management education

 

•  Global Scholars - A faculty research consortium, designed to attract top-flight scholars to the theme of the interactive relationship between institutional development and international business and economics

 

•  Stakeholder Marketing Consortium - A forum for innovative research and collaboration among leading marketing scholars and practitioners

 

•  Chinese Business School Initiative - A partnership with high-profile Chinese organizations that aims to bring our work to China - helping chart the course of Chinese business education
