Mg-Ed-Dv-ers,
In reading Beate's Dutch comments to us, I contemplate how new technologies
are making the world including business more and more a global village. If
we received Beate's communication in the course of our business activities,
nowadays we could go to a site such as:
http://www.lingotalk.com/languages/dutch.html
and purchase software to automatically translate them into 26 languages
including English, German, French, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Greek,
Russian, Czech, Chinese, Japanese, Swedish, Danish, Finnish, Norwegian,
Dutch, Turkish, Serbo-Croat, Polish, Slovakian, Hungarian, Bulgarian,
Romanian, Estonian, Thai, and/or Indonesian.
GADZOOKS!
Of course, any one with four first names is welcome to post in Dutch to
Mg-Ed-Dv. (New York where I work was a Dutch colony originally so I'm
partial towards Holland-based folks). Hmmmmmmmm. Is there a tie-in to our
Pennsylvania Dutch/Amish comments in recent threads? Perhaps. The Amish
are reluctant to the use of new technologies that weaken
community-mindedness and teamwork--one's that foster jealousy and gossip. I
think that Mg-Ed-Dv should be a place where we go to help our global
management education/development neighbors by sharing are
teaching/developing learning and resources. Posting of the urls of web
resources that you leverage in your courses will help us all to build our
barns (syllabi?) better.
Hmmmmmmmm. Some of you non-USAers might have wondered who the Amish are
etc. Links explaining the Amish are:

http://www.800padutch.com/amish.html

Oh, by the bye, Beate, please add a "Heeft u begrepen wat ik in het
Nederlands zei? (Have you understood what I said in Dutch?) to future such
postings to Mg-Ed-Dv.
Cybercollegially,
