The following is directed to those in the list who teach Management courses.
Because you are on this list, you are probably interested in improving
Management Education. Recently, I tried to see what others in the field
were doing in their classes by using a search with Alta Vista. The results
were less than impressive, to say the least. However, one alternative to
the normal search engine is the WEBRING.
A ring is a mechanism to add links at the end of a web page, allowing one
to travel from one web page to the next, eventually returning to the first
webpage in the loop.
So why am I telling you this? I have just created a webring that is
designed to link Management Professors' pages (The OBTC Ring). I am
hoping you might be interested in joining the ring and in finding others to
join as well. My idea is that this would allow all of us to see what
others in our field are doing and in that way share ideas. Ultimately, it
might help in the improvement of our teaching.
If this sounds at all interesting to you, please take a moment to look at
the OBTC Ring Home Page at
http://www.muohio.edu/~snavelwb/obtc.html
So far there is only one page in the ring - mine - but I hope you'll
consider joining me. The OBTC Ring Home Page explains how to join the ring
and has links that further describe webrings' form and function. At the
bottom of that page you can also see the mechanism to link pages together.
If you try the links, you will get to my home page.
Thanks!
Bill
