other universities to make a difference.
Melinda Merino, senior editor at
Harvard Business Review, has observed
that what executives want from HR
thought leaders is a clear identification
of non-obvious solutions that
address practical and real business
problems. There is a need for a stronger
symbiotic relationship between
B-schools and senior HR professionals
to create new directions, innovative
practices, and implement the future
aspirations of the human resources
profession. Both sides should partner
more earnestly to ensure that the lessons
learned in business schools are
those needed most by corporations
and our emerging HR leaders.
