Michael Arthur and Robert DeFillippi combine forward-thinking research with a rich understanding of the needs of today’s MBA students to provide exceptional classroom experiences. Now they share their expertise in a new book, Knowledge at Work: Career Collaboration in the Global Economy, cowritten with Valerie Lindsay, a colleague from Victoria University of Wellington. Knowledge at Work looks at how individuals, communities, organizations, and industries influence each other. The book draws on Arthur’s extensive research in contemporary career strategy and DeFillippi’s focus on innovation, particularly in high technology, manufacturing, and creative service industries. Arthur and DeFillippi are committed to empowering students. “I work to develop tools and practices that will help students succeed,” says DeFillippi. Arthur wants his students to “learn how to manage the trajectories of their careers and to appreciate cross-pollination of knowledge.” Arthur and DeFillippi are thoroughly engaged in the dynamics of management and their students’ success. mba 670 Information Systems for Competitive Advantage mba 680 Managing in the Ethical and Legal Environment global requirement (3 credits/1 course) mba 780 Managing in the Global Environment capstone (3 credits/1 course) mba 800 Strategic Management
