The Refractive Thinker(r) celebrates the accomplishments of the
doctoral scholars contained within the pages of their award winning
Volume IV: Ethics, Leadership, and Globalization. The intent is to
provide a forum for these authors to share their thoughts and
expertise as they contribute to our expanse of knowledge in
pursuits of the tenets of and philosophies of higher learning. The
title of this series, The Refractive Thinker(r) was chosen
intentionally to describe a new way of thinking. As a society, we
often find ourselves between the dichotomies of either thinking
within the box (thinking) or outside of the box (critical
thinking). The Refractive Thinker(r) introduces the concept of
refractive thinking - thinking beyond the box, perhaps even
building a new box entirely. As a result, this series highlights
the ability of these doctoral scholars to bend thought, to converge
its very essence on the ability to obliquely pass through the
perspective of another. The goal is to ask and ponder the right
questions; to dare to think differently, to find new applications
within unique and cutting edge dimensions, ultimately to lead where
others may follow or to risk forging perhaps a new path entirely.
The goal of this series is to provide additional guidance one might
need as a citizen of the world. For Volume IV, these scholars and
authors provide readers with new lenses with which to explore
ambiguity and to navigate turbulent waters offering new paths to
success. Topics will include ethics, leadership, and various global
concerns currently affecting the business landscape. Discover
additional answers to consider and the many pearls of wisdom
offered within these pages. The Refractive Thinker(r) Press
