Harvard'da Sosyal Sorumluluk Eğitimi

Değerli Arkadaşlarım,

Bugünlerde iletişimin frekansını artırdığımın farkındayım ama gözüme çarpanların çöp sepetine gitmesine gönlüm razı olmuyor. Bir de sizlerden gelen geri bildirim iletişim yoğunluğunu daha değerli kılıyor.
Harvard Business School’da bir sosyal sorumluluk programı var. Aşağıda ön bilgisini aktarıyorum. Dileyen arkadaşlarım http://www.exed.hbs.edu/programs/csr/’dan ayrıntılı bilgiye ulaşabilirler. Biraz pahalı olmakla birlikte (6.000 USD) içerik olarak anlamlı geldi. 15-18 ekim 2008 tarihlerindeki bu programı bilgilerinize sunuyorum.

Sevgiler
