I think that there may be ways to use some of the content as long as the new material does not "lift" huge amounts directly and as long as citations are made. Face-to-face and even online professors do this all the time in our lectures and even in on-line essays...otherwise teaching would be almost impossible. It probably wouldn't hurt though for someone to contact whoever manages the site for the University and talk with them about the OER movement and what they might do to make their resources even more usable. It seems to me that their intent is to be useable...

Joyce - I checked out the managementhelp.org website, and you're right, it has many resources. So, it's good as a link. However, for educators who want to use, remix and adapt content, this is not possible given the copyright on their page. Now, if someone were to contact the authors and ask them about giving WikiEducator an exception to their licence on their site, and they agreed......well, that would be even more cool! - Randy On Thu, Oct 7, 2010 at 11:44 AM, <[email protected]> wrote: Hi all: My husband who teaches non-profit management found a wonderful free site sponsored by the University of Minnesota that offers all kinds of free resources...the link is www.managementhelp.org and the site name is the Free Management Library. His students use it all the time. Perhaps just putting links to this somewhere (or many somewheres) in our wikieducator world would be helpful. J.

I recall trying to get my hands on a Volunteer Handbooks - to support in the business operations of a nonprofit - How difficult it was to find! Contacting local businesses - they were loathe to part with any of their cherished manuals (which are usually out of date by the time they're printed, anyways - <smile>. Eventually, community radio open source pioneer KRUU FM has shared its Handbook, which I have added the the http://www.wikieducator.org/Community_Engagement page. Also, over time, I have been collecting resources related to Human Resources - http://wikieducator.org/Category:Human_Resources My thought is, that it would be great if we could get a school that has a business program, to develop some of its material on WE, and also start leveraging that to get more resources, to support "Open Business". The other part to this, is about the nature of changing business models in the open space. Red Hat Linux comes to mind, and also the work we're doing in WikiPublishing - www.wikieducator.org/WikiPublishing. Great idea - let's get a cluster of folks together....and why reinvent the wheel - use WikiEducator as a production environment, and other communications technologies for rallying folks too! - Randy On Thu, Oct 7, 2010 at 8:50 AM, Wong Leo <[email protected]> wrote: http://ibmpcd.com/ this is a wiki written by IBM employee , which mainly to do with bussiness and how to survive in a bussiness world , very good writing , but of course it is written mostly in Chinese and English too 2010/10/7 Wong Leo <[email protected]> Hey Vaylor , I am working in a business cooperate college in China , http://gem-group.com , our CEO was working as CEO for INTEL before , one time I was chatting with him about Google decision to step out of China , and right now , in China , google.com is being blocked for some months now Google is trying to do things OPEN here , and many google services like GMAIL I am using now are really popular now in China , however , what google is doing now really put the customers of google in a awakard situation , which many people don't agree I agree with what you said about to create the OBR to benefit everyone , however , we also need to consider the local situation , I think OER or OBR need to think GLOBALLY BUT also ACT locally , something called glocally http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glocalisation Supply chain management is a good topic , but maybe it is more realistic to start something both of parties are all intersted , like some real projects and things we can use into our bussiness strategy or even marketing . If you are interested ,I am willing at my side to push some of small ways to do something , but it need to be win win but to start with some of questions 1 does bussiness OBR canot use what educator's thinking model ? I am from academic background , but I found the bussiness world is even simpler than academic world 2 When I am facing a bussiness problem , I like to use google sometimes, but right now after working in bussiness world for around 2 years ( I was teaching at the college for 3 years ) , I found google doesnot give me the info I need most of time , I tried to find answers from people I know , or from people we know , so ,maybe we should try to see how many people are intersted in doing this 3 Supply Chain management http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supply_chain_management What resources you are talking about different from above link ?? 2010/10/7 Vtaylor <[email protected]> In her PLENK session, Janet Clarey mentioned that businesses don't do "open". I'm working with a business software service provider. We have been thinking about putting the non-proprietary training / information someplace as open resources but haven't come up with an appropriate place to put it. The primary subject is best practices in supply chain management - a function that every business does at some level. The thinking so far - WikiEducator and Wikiversity are too academic. Wikibooks - it isn't a book. Some place associated with the business - not as open and collaborative as we would like. Is anyone else doing something like this? Is there a Wiki... for business? Any repositories of Open Business Resources? Is anyone else interested in creating or using open business resources? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "WikiEducator" group.
