Do you think our schools are still graduating “widget producers?” – SCN Encourager
The Harvard Business Review says we are. And we should be proud of this. After all, a healthy and dynamic economy depends upon a steady increase in marketplace transactions; with a wide range of various “widgets” available to meet our wants and needs.
