New Rules for Business in a Flat World: A Trustees Call to Action
Brown, J. Noah; Burke, Kenneth P.
Community College Journal of Research and Practice, v31 n6 p441-448 Jun 2007
As policymakers, community college trustees have a responsibility to help keep their communities strong. How they do this is by helping to give everyone a chance for higher education. Thomas Friedman says that John F. Kennedy's vision was to put a man on the moon. His vision is to put every American on a campus. To do this, trustees can use these 7 "New Rules of Business:" (a) having a renewed focus on higher education accountability, (b) continued anxiety over college affordability, (c) waning public support, (d) growing expectations, (e) increasing competition, (f) changing demographics, and (g) the growing leadership crisis.
