Biography:

| Paul
Miesing conducts research and training in the area of "Strategic
Change" broadly including strategic vision and commitment;
executive leadership; organizational learning and transformation;
technology transfer; cross-culture management and organization;
corporate social responsibility and business ethics; and strategic
and pedagogical use of information technology. He has helped
many audiences, including companies, civic groups, industry
associations, and government agencies, both locally and internationally.
He was a Fulbright lecturer at Fudan University in Shanghai
(arguably that country's best MBA program) during the 1998-1999
academic year and continue to return there to conduct ongoing
research. He was also a Visiting Associate Professor at the
Indian Institute of Management in Calcutta (arguably the best
MBA program in India) during the 2000-2001 winter break.

| Teaching
Philosophy: |
If
a single approach characterizes my teaching philosophy, it is
to create the learning environment and get out of the way. In
pursuit of a lively and healthy intellectual environment, I
have used and developed cases, exercises, in-baskets, and simulations.
More recently the information technologies changing the way
we work, teach, learn, and live have extensively integrated
instructional technologies into my teaching.
