immediate crisis and start building an economy that lasts into the future -- an economy that creates good, middle-class jobs that pay well and offer security. We now live in a world where technology has made it possible for companies to take their business anywhere. If we want them to start here and stay here and hire here, we have to be able to out-build and out-educate and out- innovate every other country on Earth.Business leaders also have recognized the imperative of job creation for our economies. Forexample, writing in the July 2010 Business Week, former Intel CEO Andy Grove wrote on thenecessity of ‘job-centric’ leadership and incentives to expand the US domestic economy: … job creation must be the No. 1

goodsbecause they are by definition both non-rivalrous and non-excludable. For example, sampleethics lessons from the National Academy of Engineering’s Online Ethics Center(www.onlineethics.org) might constitute a public good because one professor’s use of a samplelesson in their class does not prevent another professor’s use of that same lesson. Similarly, thematerials are publicly available and non-excludable as long as someone has internet access. Openenrollment public universities might also effectively meet these criteria (in relation to the localstates and regions they serve at low or no tuition), as long as the cost of attendance is keptsufficiently low so as not to be a barrier to entry, and education is delivered at such a scale thatnon

the settlement plan for land that would be newly openedby the project. Retaining the original designs of this major project might have helped avert thesubsequent political deterioration that spiraled into warfare.A rural development project in Rwanda that started in 1974 is another example of a missedopportunity that turned out instead to exacerbate tensions. In this case, the benefits (includingstructures, roads, and land access) were largely captured by local Hutus, excluding Tutsis. Thefinal result was judged by one Africa scholar to be “a great increase in inequality betweenregions, social classes, groups and individuals.”In two examples from Thailand, irrigation projects were constructed (in the 1950s-1970s) to winpopulation loyalty in a

To assign students to dointernships may cause the result that the university benefits outweigh the enterprises’benefits, and this will reduce the company's enthusiasm. As a remedy, the enterprisecan try to compose a class of employees to receive free theoretical trainings fromuniversities to balance both sides of costs and benefits. 18Suggestions for government

A pilot class in International Entrepreneurship was offered forthe first time in spring 2005, and currently (spring 2006) the programs are offering a course inInternational Entrepreneurship and Organizational Leadership. Both the pilot course in 2005 andthe current offering involve students working through the spring semester in non-isotopic,multicultural, interdisciplinary teams with economics students from Corvinus University inBudapest, Hungary with students traveling to Budapest for a follow-up 1-week on-sitecollaboration with their counterparts at Corvinus University in the first summer session. Demandfor the class has doubled from 2005 to 2006 and is at its capacity (i.e. filled with 16 students).Some
