Gwlad y beirdd, redux?

20 01 2008

Tip o’r het i Richard Florida, sy’ wedi dod hon at fy sylw: b-school + d-school = c-school?

Mae’r awdur, Grant McCracken, yn son am ysgolion busnes, a’r ffordd maen nhw’n colli eu perthnasedd. Hynny yw, ‘dyn nhw ddim yn darparu addysg addas i’r amgylchfyd busnes cyfoes. Mae McCracken yn ysfrifennu:

If the first business of business is innovation, the first task of management reinventing the corporation continually, the first order of problem solving broad and powerful pattern recognition, the “b-school” will not serve us. We know at a minimum that b-schools do not confer the cultural literacy, the intellectual foundations, or the conceptual tools that capitalism now prizes and requires.

Hmmm. Ydy prifysgolion Cymru yn dsygu’r sgiliau ‘ma? Dylen nhw fod, ’swn i’n dweud! Petai Cymru’n “Gwlad y Beirdd”, fel ‘dan ni’n dweud mor aml, dylai’r Cymry fod y lle i ddod er mwyn ffindio “cultural literacy, the intellectual foundations” a “conceptual tools“!
