By now you have an overview of the field of management. You have been guided by the course curriculum and the textbook. Now it is time to take the initiative yourself. The discussion this week will center on new trends and management or leadership. You will find these new trends by researching them on the Internet. Go to Google and type ?management trends? in the search box, and explore the websites and resources you find. A few other suggestions: You can visit prominent business websites/publications, such as Fortune magazine http://fortune.com/, Money magazinehttp://www.cnnmoney.com, Forbes http://www.forbes.com/, Entrepreneur http://www.entrepreneur.com/magazine/index.html, Inc. http://www.inc.com/, and Bloomberg Business Week http://www.businessweek.com/. Pick out three new trends in management that you would like to discuss on the forum. When you have a clear idea about these new trends go to the discussion board entitled new trends in management and engage in a discussion with your classmates. You are expected to make at least three posts to the discussion board during the course of the discussion period.
