The section thus concludes with a 90 minute discussion about the texts. The discussion takes place monthly and can be attended live in Chicago or via telephone conference call. This important learning section is tied to the Philosophy and Strategy movement where we learn from dialogue and close readings of classic texts. We begin with a careful reading of Plato s Meno followed by a close examination of important topics around knowledge capital and the learning organization which are pillars of the organization behavior discipline. This course is a powerful learning opportunity.
Participants read a number of important texts about leadership, strategy, and self-discovery.
Texts, readings, and learning approach are drawn largely from the award winning Business Policy course taught by Harry L. Davis at the University of Chicago. Drawing on their learning from the rest of the Program, participants complete a 5-10 page thesis in which they construct a Business Plan or a Personal Plan, which is written collaboratively with your mentor.
