The Dawning of the Age of Flex Labor, by Andrei Hagiu and Rob Biederman in HBR Magazine<\/a><\/strong><\/h3>\n

The prevailing paradigm of people working as full-time employees for a single organization has outlived its usefulness. It produces excess volatility over the business cycle, resulting in measurable economic costs \u2014 both to people and to the companies they work for\u2026<\/p>\n

Who\u2019s Benefiting from MOOCs, and Why, by Chen Zhenghao, Brandon, Alcorn Gayle, Christensen Nicholas, Eriksson Daphne, Koller Ezekiel, J. Emanuel<\/a><\/h3>\n

In the last three years, over 25 million people from around the world have enrolled in Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) offered by Coursera, EdX, and other platforms. Initially heralded as a revolution in higher education access, expectations have been tempered as research revealed that only a small percentage of these millions were completing the courses, approximately 80% already had at least a bachelor\u2019s degree, nearly 60% were employed full-time, and 60% came from developed countries (defined as members of the OECD). MOOCs seemed to be serving the most advantaged, the headlines blared, and most people weren\u2019t even completing them\u2026<\/p>\n

To a larger degree, however, the answer isn\u2019t subjective at all. When top talent is in action, most of us have no trouble recognizing it\u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
