Management education growth and the rise in accompanying business schools over the last few decades are fuelled by global economic development, coupled with the promise of success in business careers. Recently, questions have been raised about the value and relevance of a traditional business school education - so what does the future hold for traditional business schools? In this book, we examine the current model and the pressure points of business schools by considering the evolution of - and the various value chains that are associated with - business school offerings (including MBA, undergraduate, pre-experienced and executive programmes). We also offer insight on funding and value orientation, and the potential challenges these may raise for some schools. To highlight these challenges, we provide a strategic group framework for business schools and review the implications of future strategies for these groups. Finally, after reviewing the current landscape of business school mergers, alliances and failures, we reflect on innovation considerations for the business school business model. Management education is changing, and business schools must be ready to re-evaluate their strategies for growth... and, in some cases, survival.

Poetry. In the introduction to OUBLIETTE, Peter Richards's first book of poetry, Tomaz Salamun writes, It is inscrutable how Peter Richards produces this religious magma and bathes himself and us in it. How he restores internal time to the work of art. I don't know and I don't want to tell you about it. Get wet by yourself. Dara Wier says about OUBLIETTE, I love to read a book approaching tragedy without recourse to literal analogy. Peter Richards' poems hesitate to simplify and they get close to knowing, thus they nearly push me over the edge, then they say, don't go, not yet. They electrify the mortal story that goes - there's only one way in, one way out of this world. And then these tender poems say, let's go everywhere, maybe there's another world.

"For Richards, life in a poem is like life in a body--most at risk, and most fully at play."--David Rivard, "Ploughshares "

Exfoliating language with wit, Nude Siren is sardonic, intimate, sump-tuous; an exacting sense of remaking the probabilities of words. Richards knows where to find the sinister in humor, and the grace conveyed by beige light.

Peter Richards is a recipient of a Massachusetts Cultural Council Grant in Poetry, an Iowa Arts Fellowship, an Academy of American Poets Prize, and the John Logan Award. He is the author of "Oubliette "(Verse Press, 2001).

This book is based on Peter Richards' experiences in the Antarctic from 1957 to 1960, working for what was then then the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey, which later became British Antarctic Survey. It was a time when little had changed from the days of the earlier explorers. Travel was with dog teams and communications were still quite primitive, relying on relaying wireless messages or sending Morse code. Young men - surveyors, meteorologists and scientists - would spend three long years on the bases, only seeing other humans when, in the summer, the supply ships visited. Their kit was mostly army surplus - no warm quilted polyester waterproof anoraks. It was an exciting challenging time for these fit young men. Though Peter went down as a meteorologist, everybody helped with the others' tasks, including taking weekly turns at cooking all meals. There were bird ringing and seal counts to be done as well as surveying. There was plenty of fun and, at times, danger when travelling over the ice. He was appointed base leader on Signy Island and with that he also inherited the title 'first aider'. With no experience or training, he was lucky to have nothing more to tackle than a large nail embedded in the foot of the diesel mechanic! His time on Signy was cut short when he had an injury and had to be shipped out back to the Falkland Islands for an operation. When he recovered, he was unable to go back because the winter had set in and no ships were going south; they were all on their way back to the UK. So he was sent to South Georgia, and there he saw the whaling industry in full swing - not something for sensitive souls and thankfully the factory there has long since been abandoned. He spent his time, when not doing observations, exploring and helping with surveying and seal tagging.
