Please excuse any cross posting.
I thought readers of this list-serv might be interested in some recent
free resources from the Aspen Institute's Business and Society Program.
Our focus, as usual, is MBA education that better prepares future
leaders to manage social and environmental issues in business.
1) There are now nearly 300 complete course syllabi available for
download at the Beyond Grey Pinstripes website. Whenever you search our
coursework database (nearly 2,000 courses at 120+ schools), if a
syllabus is available, you just can just click to it.

*NOTE: If you have a course listed in our database, and would like your
syllabus to be available to Pinstripes viewers (~10,000/month), let me
know.
2) The Aspen Institute has recently launched a series called A Closer
Look at MBA Education, based partly on the 20,000 pages of information
we collect as part of the Pinstripes survey we do with WRI. The first
topics were:
-China:

-Career Services:
http://www.beyondgreypinstripes.org/pdf/careerreport.pdf
For what it's worth, there's also a bit of a discussion on these topics
on my blog, MBA's that Matter
(http://rleimsid.mbablogs.businessweek.com)
3) Aspen's CasePlace.org has also just launched a feature on Faculty
Pioneers, where materials from award-winning MBA faculty are available
for download in one place.

Anyway, I hope some of this may be useful. I'm eager for any feedback
or comments.
Thank you.
