Decision Making Frameworks For Leaders Dealing with Economic UncertaintyChris Snook
Chris J Snook's slides for this session on several models for strategic, operational, and timely decision making frameworks from the work of several leading experts who have studied leadership in the time of crisis.
About The Webinar: (Sponsored by emerged.com
We may all be dealing with an unprecedented level of the global crisis but your leadership and decision making don't have to be held captive. In fact, your ability to make better decisions is needed more than ever on the local and global scale as we navigate through both the pandemic and the knock-on effect economic uncertainty and new business realities.
Dive deep into several proven frameworks that address the most important questions you face every day at home and in the organization starting with the three examples below and much more...
"How do I make the right decision?" - complexity means that there are more wrong choices than correct ones. Learn a framework for dealing with this personally and professionally.
"How can I work more efficiently" -The reality of working remotely and managing remote teams is hear to stay for quite some time and you need proven models to achieve efficient performance and communication flows. Technology is a tool, but you must make the decisions that guide your teams.
What do I want moving forward? -Times of massive uncertainty and quarantine provides a forced-reflection. Use it to your strategic benefit personally and professionally with this framework

Doing that MBA: It's about asking the right questions ( A ready reckoner for ...Anirban Das
The MBA has typically been considered a ticket to a high flying corporate career? Is it? A sensational news headline in India announced (rather gleefully) that only 7% of Indian business school graduates, outside the top schools, are actually employable. Really? What information did the article 'hide'? And what should the student do? Is the MBA really worth it? If yes, how should he/she choose the college? When should he/she do the MBA? 1 year or 2 year or Part-Time? Integrated or New Age? Boy, it's so confusing for the students!
This article is a ready reckoner for students wanting to pursue their MBA as it helps them to asks the right questions in order to arrive at the right career decision.
And yes, there is something in the article for the institutes and companies too in how they can contribute.
With all of the great respect,
Here is the dew of my sweat and blood which I have spent all of my efforts to dedicate to my family, my friends, my previous and current teachers and also for my own, the dream of my life, Walt Disney (i.e. my philosophy)

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
-----------------------------------
“Designing a Business” (DAB) was a great sound to me from the first day that I saw it in the list of my elective modules of my Master course. Even though I had to wait for being a part of the DAB-class for two months later because of making the wrong selections, I thought I still got what I needed from the DAB-lectures and much more than that by somehow.
As a mixed module of Designing and Business, “DAB” gave all students the chances and opportunities to make their real business from the first of first steps (Mace Kingston, 2013). Students would start from finding their group as to become a small company. Every team, then, focused on the most simple thing as creating an idea, making prototype of product into harder things as doing market research, manufacturing the real goods, setting up social network and finally, making it real as selling their products in the market, doing financial calculations and so on.
There could be many and many things to write for what or which a student could learn from “DAB” and all of the key learning is also able to be different based on various view of each student. As the purpose of this report is a reflective essay of a Master student in Business, I do not want to avoid mentioning about any lesson in business aspects as Finance, Marketing, Human resource and so on. Nonetheless, in my personal perspective, I already had many and many times to study and learn them from thousands of books, on Internet and also in other modules of my Master course. Thus, from my own experience, the most important and expensive lessons for me from DAB is not only about ‘how to design a business’. It is about Designing Me and having a strategic planning for my missions in near future and I also wrote about them here in the way of my-own. This seems to be how a true reflective essay should be and also become an explanation for any reason why I focus on writing this report like this.
As follow the general principle, the structure and the writing style of this report must be in an academic way. However, while it is in first person that it can be informal and become a story, I guarantee for every single word and sentence has been written carefully (I have tried my best with my poor English) and I hope that reading this “DAB-tale” may not become a boring journey but very enjoyable.

2. Imagine this situation: It is the end of the semester and you are
under a lot of pressure due to exams. In addition to the exams
you also have a written assignment to be handed in. Would you
consider to copy-paste text from the Internet to ease the
pressure and leave more time for exam preparation?
3. Would you report a fellow student if you
knew that he/she was cheating?
4. Is it more acceptable to cheat someone you have
never met (not citing an author or copy/pasting his
work than someone you know (stealing from a co-
student or friend)?
5. Have you ever cheated at an exam during any of
your previous education(s) to date?
