``Executive Director, Intellectual Capital: Chicago Booth seeks to better exploit the wealth of intellectual capital created by its faculty. The Executive Director, Intellectual Capital serves as the Chief Knowledge Officer, and is charged with creating a vision for sharing and disseminating that intellectual capital and overseeing the implementation of that vision...''
----------- Think total cynicism. Here is how I read the above, through a glass darkly.. ``Chicago Booth seeks to better exploit the wealth of intellectual capital created by its faculty.'' Chicago Booth School wants somebody who knows how to market faculty products for more money than is coming in at the moment. The institution wants somebody who knows how to convert intellectual capital into actual capital. ``Chief Knowledge Officer...is charged with creating a vision for sharing and disseminating ... intellectual capital ... and implementing ... that vision.'' I think the vision is to figure out a way to use institutional patent and copyright laws which the institution retains over research and products done with its facilities by its faculty to extract money from them and/or their outside corporate connections. In other words Chicago Booth wants somebody who knows how to market an idea for cash profit to Chicago Booth.
