Think+Up is a free online community where you can interact with experts in business and academia—the faculty, contributing scholars, graduates, and current and future students of the College of Management and Technology at Walden University. The College of Management and Technology hosts this site as part of its commitment to Walden University’s mission of promoting positive social change. By identifying important business, engineering, and IT issues, then supporting the free exchange of information and ideas about them, we are fostering a collaborative community that will improve organizations and industries to everyone’s benefit. Like our graduate and undergraduate programs, Think+Up articles, blogs, forums, videos, and discussions focus on the practical application of theoretical knowledge in real-life business situations—with an emphasis on innovation, positive social change, and corporate social responsibility. So you and your organization can be successful today and in the future. How does it work? Visitors to Think+Up can read Case Studies, blogs and forums on the latest topics in management, leadership, sustainability, technology, information systems consulting, energy efficient computing, engineering (practical) and engineering (research and development projects). Case Studies: Think+Up will present new Case Studies each month. These in-depth looks will offer insight into topics not found elsewhere as well as give readers practical tips on how to apply the new knowledge. Blogs: Think+Up has scoured the blogosphere—and our university community—to find the most relevant and straight-talking writers who are addressing the key issues in today’s business world. Read blogs on corporate social responsibility, human resources, women in business, green business, innovation and design, and leadership.
