Businessweek recently reported on a new alliance formed by many of the nation's top business schools including Harvard, Duke, Yale, and Northwestern to name a few. Their objective: to improve the quality of health care management masters degree programs.

In the press release on the Yale School of Management website, the alliance is described as "a collaborative organization committed to improving healthcare by fostering management education in the health sector."

The news comes on the heels of reports of booming enrollments in health care management: "Many MBAs are suddenly showing an interest in an industry that until now has attracted only a smattering of business school graduates... According to a survey by the MBA Career Services Council, health care is one of a small handful of industries generating a surge in recruiting on campus, with 31% of the 78 schools surveyed reporting an increase in health-care recruiting," said another article in Businessweek.

An excerpt from the Businessweek article:

A group of leading business schools is capitalizing on students’ growing interest in careers in the health care sector by forming a new alliance that will focus on improving the quality of health care management programs. The new Business School Alliance for Healthcare Management was launched in late May by Duke University’s Fuqua School of Business, Northwestern’s Kellogg Graduate School of Management, University of Pennsylvania’s Wharton School, Harvard Business School and the University of California, Berkeley’s Haas School of Business. Other alliance members include the Yale School of Management, Vanderbilt’s Owen Graduate School of Management, Boston University School of Management, Arizona State University’s W.P. Carey School of Business and the University of Colorado Denver Business School.

The recent passage of the health-care reform bill, coupled with growing enrollment in health care management programs, spurred the schools to create a more formal organization to examine best practices, says Fuqua’s Health Sector Management Director Kevin Schulman. Fuqua has about 180 students in its health sector management program and about 150 in the executive education program, making up about 20% of the MBA class, he says.

“This is long overdue on the business school side,” says Schulman. “We’re all sitting here wondering whether or not our programs could be part of the solution to the health care problems we face as a country.”

From the Basics of U.S. Health Care Systems, to each of the core topics in business such as Finance, Legal Issues, Marketing, Management, Human Resources, Organizational Behavior, Strategic Planning, Quality Improvement and more, Jones & Bartlett Learning offers a complete curriculum of texts for top notch programs in health administration.

Winning elections is a science in Russia, though not a particularly elegant one. Coach FactoryThe term polit-tekhnolog (political technologist) is, after all, a Russian neologism.Chanel Bags There are well-paid teams of them in Moscow who do nothing but hatch ways to confuse voters, skew results and, when necessary, stuff the ballot box. Reports of their handiwork have been rife ahead of Russia's parliamentary elections Coach Outleton Sunday, calling to mind the country's unofficial electoral mantra, which is usually Coach Outletattributed to Stalin: "It's not important how they vote. It's important who is counting." Louis VuittonSo with all this experience to draw from, with all these technologists available to help,Chanel Bags how did Moscow manage to screw up the ballot last weekend in the tiny Russian Coach Outletvassal state of South Ossetia?It should have been a cakewalk. Chanel HandbagsInsofar as South Ossetia even has an economy, it relies on trade with the Russian Coach Factory Storemilitary, which conquered the region from the Republic of Georgia after a weeklong war in 2008. If you check Google Maps,Louis Vuitton or ask the U.N., the region is still technically a part of Georgia.Chanel BagsThe region's budget comes almost exclusively from Russian aid, whichChanel Bags has added up to about a billion dollars since 2008, when Russia became the Chanel Bagsfirst to recognize South Ossetia as an independent state. Since then, only four other countries Coach Outlethave followed suit: Venezuela, Nicaragua and the two Pacific island nations of Tuvalu and Coach Factory OutletNauru, all in exchange for loans or other goodies from Moscow.Besides, Coach Outlet Onlinethe region has only 28,000 registered voters, most of whom hold Russian Coach Outletpassports and worship Russia for liberating them from Georgian rule. The region's Coach Factory OutletPresident, Eduard Kokoity, openly stated in 2008 that South Ossetia Coach Outletshould eventually become a part of Russian territory. So it seemed obvious that when Coach Factory StoreKokoity's term in office ran out this year, Russia's favored candidate Louis Vuitton Bagswould easily succeed him. It wouldn't require a lot of finesse on Russia's part, just a bit of old-fashioned campaigning. But even before the elections began, things started going wrong.
