The Metaverse: TV of the Future?
Professor Miklos Sarvary discusses the potential impact of virtual worlds in the Harvard Business Review, February 2008.
INSEAD is one of the first management schools to dip a toe into the online economy, instead of merely studying it
INSEAD has created spaces for virtual classes, group meetings, lounge areas for students to meet with professors, potential employers, and one another and has also commissioned laboratories for research. "The purpose is to do everything we do, but better" explains Miklos Sarvary, Professor of Marketing and Faculty Director of the Learning Innovation Centre. (Business Week) |
