In the era of knowledge and innovation, management education cannot be education as it was in the past. This chapter aims to contribute to the topic “New Era in International Management Education”. From the specification of new paradigms of business for the modern era, and definitions of administration, the author raises relevant convergences that necessitate new management qualifications, and so therefore, new forms of administrative education. A central convergence that is included in this chapter is the convergence that the author promotes in Bio Gerencia Virtual®: convergence of information, people and their natural environments, technology and customer orientation. In several countries, the idea of a global context is a foreign one. In this chapter the emphasis is on the challenge to be solved – making “global” synonymous with oneself or close to the human condition, sustainable and influenced largely by culture. We cannot educate for global leadership, with patterns of fragmented thought, or without awareness of satisfying own needs that alter global balance.

Previously, all stereological estimation of particle number and sizes were based on models and notoriously gave biased results, were very inefficient to use and difficult to justify. For all references to old methods and a direct comparison with unbiased methods see recent reviews.The publication in 1984 of the DISECTOR, the first unbiased stereological probe for sampling and counting 3—D objects irrespective of their size and shape, signalled the new era in stereology — and give rise to a number of remarkably simple and efficient techniques based on its distinct property: It is the only known way to obtain an unbiased sample of 3-D objects (cells, organelles, etc). The principle is simple: within a 2-D unbiased frame count or sample only cells which are not hit by a parallel plane at a known, small distance h.The area of the frame and h must be known, which might sometimes in itself be a problem, albeit usually a small one. A more severe problem may arise because these constants are known at the scale of the fixed, embedded and sectioned tissue which is often shrunken considerably.

In the mid-nineteenth century Virchow revolutionized pathology by introduction of the concept of “cellular pathology”. Today, a century later, this term has increasing significance in health and disease. We now are in the beginning of a new era in pathology, one which might well be termed “organelle pathology” or “subcellular pathology”. The impact of lysosomal diseases on clinical medicine exemplifies this role of pathology of organelles in elucidation of disease today.Another aspect of cell organelles of prime importance is their pathologic alteration by drugs, toxins, hormones and malnutrition. The sensitivity of cell organelles to minute alterations in their environment offers an accurate evaluation of the site of action of drugs in the study of both function and toxicity. Examples of mitochondrial lesions include the effect of DDD on the adrenal cortex, riboflavin deficiency on liver cells, elevated blood ammonia on the neuron and some 8-aminoquinolines on myocardium.
