Pragmatic Argument

This chapter positions a discussion of intellectual capital, governance, IT and leadership in the context of a resource-based and dynamic capabilities view of the firm. It then discusses in very pragmatic terms how leadership may be associated with IT governance and both knowledge sharing and knowledge creation from a micro-practices perspective. The chapter then presents four vignettes on the experiences of exemplary pioneering leaders to illustrate this argument. The leaders chosen are Leif Edvinsson of Scandia in Sweden, Robert Buckman of Buckman Laboratories in the United States, Hu Gang of NCD in China, and Lars Kolind of Oticon in Denmark. The chapter concludes with the pragmatic argument that leadership matters.

Real Change

Educational reform efforts in the United States have produced little sustainable results. Reformers are quick to impose standards and to label schools and the students they serve. Yet, they rarely acknowledge the serious inequities and inequalities found throughout the educational process. This article seeks to present a more comprehensive view of the collective disparities found in the American educational system, with the idea that “leaving no child behind” requires a serious attempt at leveling the playing field. Inherent in this presentation is the notion that reform efforts that produce real change must begin with public policy that acknowledges and removes the faults and errors of the system.

The Government

On January 16,1948, the United States High Commissioner for Austria (Keyes) proposed to the other members of the Allied Commission the restoration to the Austrian Government of numerous controls previously exercised by the Commission. To assist the Austrian Government in assuming such controls as soon as possible, the United States suggested that the Directorates of the Commission examine the controls within their spheres of authority and decide which might be passed to the government. Functions suggested for transfer under the United States proposal included: civil aviation; allocation of food and electric power; control of the movement and distribution of indigenous food supplies; control over travel into and out of Austria; administration of the educational system; control of the operation, arming and equipping of Austrian police and frontier control agencies; and internal and international communications. The United States also proposed a reduction of occupation costs and occupation forces and the abolition of censorship.

The Right

In the educational system of the United States the education of the whole child has been important. Home environment, school environment, heredity, and good health-physical and mental-have played their part in the maturation of the student. All of these influences can aid learning, but without the right attitude the child's full potential of growth in knowledge cannot be realized.
