Our Shrinking Earth
探讨世界变化如何影响管理学会的会员构成，指出非美国会员自发增长，世界因管理学院发展和互联网而缩小，并强调辩证过程和意识形态差异对智力发展的作用。
The author focuses on how changes in the world are affecting membership to the Academy of Management. The author states that the Academy is becoming an international organization with spontaneous increases in non-U.S. membership. He comments that the world is shrinking, partly due to the development of management schools across the globe, and also the advent of the Internet which has allowed telecommunications to connect people from many diverse locales and allows for global collaboration. He states that dialectic processes are important for intellectual development and suggests that ideological differences assist in intellectual development.
