Is this really the case - or do the middle and upper ranks communicate verbally while the underlings read the reports and write the position papers? In any case, given how quickly life and learning are changing I'd be reluctant to base teaching methods and curriculum on current workplace practices. The problem is how best to prepare students for a lifetime of learning across a number of career and lifestyle choices. Marj
