Robert S. KaplanBusiness education must constantly be changing and being updated to improve the quality of the student experience.

Robert S. KaplanThere is usually a clock in our heads regarding decisions we make and the course of our lives. Sometimes this clock is helpful in that it get us to move rather than put off key actions.
