| Dear Friend of the Aspen Institute,
Aspen BSP's CasePlace.org is thrilled to announce the Social and Environmental Impact Network (SEIN).
SEIN is an "open access" library of academic research, class notes, sample exams, etc., dedicated to the social and environmental impacts of business.
SEIN is "open access," which means that anyone can upload anything, anytime. As of 1/10/2007 there were 900+ documents available for free download.
- See all 900 resources, in order of popularity
- Share your knowledge, upload your own materials [see instructions below]
SEIN is hosted within the popular SSRN.com website.
SSRN.com has long been the leading library of academic research in many core business disciplines (especially finance, economics, and law). In recent months they're getting 5 million+ hits from more than 100,000 registered users-mostly faculty.
You can share your own knowledge, right now, with this huge community.
SEIN resources can be filed in up to 10 categories among the hundreds of sub-topics within our 4 main headings-Social, Environmental, Ethical, and Educator (teaching materials). We're looking for anything you want (and have permission!) to share with the 100,000+ other faculty, reporters, and executives who use SSRN.com: working papers, published research, homework assignments, exams, classroom notes/slideshows, etc. [See below for instructions] CasePlace.org remains the premier site for case studies, syllabi, teaching modules, and pre-screened teaching materials.
The Social and Environmental Impact Network is a partnership.
Our Network Partners include Ashoka, Business for Social Responsibility, Net Impact, and the Research Network for Business Sustainability. Our growing list of Faculty Advisors includes Paul Bloom (Duke), Marc Epstein (Rice), Tim Fort (GW), Mary Gentile (Independent Consultant), Geoff Heal (Columbia), Andy Hoffman (Michigan), Andy King (Dartmouth), Andrea Larson (Darden), Todd Sayre (USF).
We'd love to know what you think. Poke around the website. Upload some materials. And tell us if you find this useful.
Thanks so much.
