Dynamic Models
This is an interesting essay on an interesting blog I read on occasion - Department of Defense, a new business school?:
The military organization was once a lot like Hobbes’ Leviathan. Decision making was resident on high—in the senior officer’s corps. The ordinary soldier was a limb operated at a distance—by someone else’s intelligence.The blog post is about the change and what it might mean for the MBA school. Among the reasons I found it interesting is that we're having the military-recruitment-on-campus debate right now -- this at an institution whose president is the former director of the Peace Corps. Maybe the Progressive Student Union representatives also spoke against soft imperialism, but I was out of town the night of the debate.
