There are several major problems facing higher education today. These include skyrocketing tuition, administrative bloat, need to improve the quality of education, and the necessity of moving away from old-fashioned lecture approach and using technology to make education more relevant. This paper describes a new way of teaching a course which we shall refer to as a partnership hybrid. Partnership hybrids are tightly coordinated classes with the same course materials, same syllabus and course outline, same homework assignments, coordinated exams, etc. The advantage of this approach includes more resources for students, an active approach to education, and saved classroom space. It is is an intriguing way save money without sacrificing quality. A specific example of the use of this new mode of instruction is presented and future research possibilities are discussed.

This case recites the history of the Boeing 787 partnering process with suppliers. The case covers the complex web of partnerships Boeing was involved in and how relational issues contributed to the long delay and cost overruns of the program. The reasons behind the global partnering strategy appear solid: Selling aircraft has changed, the big customers are all over the world, the politics are complex, the risks are higher, the resources are more distributed, and the financing has become unsurmountable for a single company. Although the 787 program is now running well, will lessons learned spill over to other programs? Will Boeing's future partnerships become more adversarial rather than trust based? The case raises the question if Boeing in its new aircraft programs following the 787 should continue the global partnering network in the same way as for the 787: should the network be scaled down, stay the same, or be taken further?

As an intervention in the cruelty of financialized entrepreneurial capitalism, a number of scholars, most prominently Lauren Berlant and Randy Martin, have suggested a turn to what they each call the "lateral." Against the future-oriented aspirations of the entrepreneur and the regimes of evaluation tied to return on investment, they propose conceptualizations of present-oriented lateral movement and relationality as an alternative mode of life and value. Theorists working in performance studies make a related proposal for claiming a timespace prior to or next to (and thus at least provisionally outside) the circulation of capital that creates the possibility for an alternative inscription of our labor. This essay explores the potentials and limitations of these interventions by examining our attachments to and investments in the entrepreneurial university and our participation in its mundane institutional practices.

It set out some key points involved and the detailed plans required in the process, offers pieces of advice and guidance for the practicing Librarians and Information scientists. Digital Libraries are being created today for diverse communities and in different fields e.g. education, science, culture, development, health, governance and so on. With the availability of several free digital Library software packages at the recent time, the creation and sharing of information through the digital library collections has become an attractive and feasible proposition for library and information professionals around the world.

Economical endeavors have become complex and hardly predictable processes, making them difficult and overwhelming for companies that fail in being creative and innovative. Managers, in their permanent quest for accommodating the fast-paced changing business needs, are stretching the limits of creativity toward three sought-after borders: “What?,” “How?,” and “What for?” (to create).

This research sets up to clarify the nature, the prevailing antecedents and the disruptive processes consequent to overshooting in the context of product innovation. Grounded theory and comparative case study logic are the methods applied to formulate the case study regarding the Learning Management System (LMS) market for the American Higher Education sector. The findings of this research reveals that the ‘compromised improvement’, rather than ‘oversupplied improvement’, on product attributes is the product provision overshooting customers. The antecedents and consequences of this rediscovered nature of overshooting are also evidenced and expounded. The outcome of this research will be substantially improving the prevailing theories regarding overshooting and disruptive innovation.

A long history of laboratory and field experiments has demonstrated that dividing study time into many sessions is often superior to massing study time into few sessions, a phenomenon widely known as the “spacing effect.” Massive open online courses (MOOCs) collect abundant data about student activity over time, but little of its early research has used learning theory to interrogate these data. Taking inspiration from this psychology literature, here we use data collected from MOOCs to identify observational evidence for the benefits of spaced practice in educational settings. We investigated tracking logs from 20 HarvardX courses to examine whether there was any relationship between how students allocated their participation and what performance they achieved. While controlling for the effect of total time on-site, we show that the number of sessions students initiate is an important predictor of certification rate, across students in all courses. Furthermore, we demonstrate that when students spend similar amounts of time in multiple courses, they perform better in courses where that time is distributed among more sessions, suggesting the benefit of spaced practice independently of student characteristics. We conclude by proposing interventions to guide students’ study schedules and for leveraging such an effect.

The paper presents a price discrimination model of a university operating in two markets, online and traditional education, and attempting to maximize revenue under a minimum profit constraint. Optimality conditions, based on demand elasticities are derived. Using a dataset of 398 southeastern public two and four year higher education institutions we estimate the price elasticity of demand for both online and traditional education. Utilizing a panel framework, we find that online education (e-learning) is highly price elastic and traditional education is price inelastic. Comparison of the empirical elasticities with the model predictions indicates that universities do not behave optimally. Reduction of online tuition and increases in traditional tuition are required to move universities towards the goal of revenue maximization.
