Spider Strategies Launches New Business School Partnership Program - Participating Business Schools to Receive Free Copy of Scoreboard®
Spider Strategies®, Inc., announced today it is providing participating universities and business schools a free copy of its Balanced Scorecard software - Scoreboard® - for use in both classrooms and external learning environments.
Washington, DC (PRWEB) April 6, 2005 -- Spider Strategies®, Inc., announced
today it is providing participating universities and business schools a free
copy of its Balanced Scorecard software - Scoreboard® - for use in both
classrooms and external learning environments. “It is no secret that today’s
business world is heavily dependent on computers and software,” stated Spider
Strategies’ Managing Partner, Conor Crimmins. “While high schools and colleges
provide basic Internet and software training, our University Partners Program
will enable MBA students to gain valuable hands-on experience with industry
applications that supplement their current academic learning.”
The
University Partners Program was pioneered by Dr. Steve Pool of the College of
Business and Economics at Ashland University - in Ashland, OH. Beginning this
semester, Dr. Pool’s MBA students will be able to log on to Spider’s Scoreboard®
application via the Internet to build and refine implementations of the Balanced
Scorecard methodology. This program will allow Dr. Pool’s students to visualize
how their MBA training is deployed in real business environments, as well as
allow for them to gain valuable hands-on training time with a product being
utilized by scores of organizations – from Fortune 500 companies to small and
large government agencies.
Dr. Pool plans to migrate application usage,
currently hosted with Spider Strategies' corporate Web operations, to a
local-based installation at Ashland University so that his students can gain
wider access and greater experience with the tool. “It is my hope that this
program spurs other universities to investigate and use this excellent software
product,” said Dr. Pool.
Spider Strategies is proud to be expanding this
program to other universities and business schools. Through its partnership with
Dr. Pool and Ashland University, Spider Strategies has crafted a program that
allows students with Web access and a basic understanding of the Internet the
ability to utilize a real-world application of their MBA training.
