Here are your (updated) groupings, at last.My thinking had been that groups were needed in China, and not before. But I learn that your work in groups is part of your overall program in the EMBA. You need your groupings sooner, not later.
There will be four times during the visit in SH and BJ during which I will need to meet with groups, in many cases over a working lunch at or near our hotel. That schedule will be on the blog and I'll have it for you this weekend. The Health Group will meet as a large group (not split into groups I and II).
The point of the groups (from my POV) is to share related learning with one another and build a more general vision of the theme or themes of the respective groups for presentation to the while class at the end of this unit.
The other (and formerly out of my blinkered view) value of these groups: to provide a setting for sharing pre-trip, as a reality check, and a general support for this excursion. Dr. Gallos, who has your collective back on these matters, deserves thanks for pointing this out to me. Without further ado:
