David Hawk Email & Phone Number

Left 19th Century business as usual, from Newtonian models and metaphors, to 21st Century business as unusual via Einstein, Feynman, Bohm and Hawking. Hawk was tolerated by some very noteworthy humans and their organizations. Meetings in his retreats were to seek a better path for the human project. There is hope, but recently it seems to have gone into hiding. Humans?

An International Foundation with current assets of approximately $1 billion in contributions and gifts. 7%/year of this is invested in supporting vibrant, intelligent young women from all continents, half with very limited access to connections and funding to attend leading universities. In the program, including the gaining of university degrees, they learn about new ideas for 21st Century leadership challenges from such things as consequences of 19th - 20th Century masculinity. One challenge to recover from primitive forms of industrialization and not let it continue into IT and AI. Each will learn of 2nd Law Thermodynamics relative to expanding Faustian Bargaining as it leads to climate change as encouraged by Newtonian driven management ideas in many companies and most universities. Alternatives come from the work of Einstein and Hawking. This may be too little too late, but seems like a last best chance to reverse the manly war on nature.

Helped them deal with the external limitations of local racism, prejudice and incompetence while doing more of what mattered. Also helped with due diligence connected to selective expansion. Good company led by very bright people.

Dropped a BCG/Harvard offer to teach in Newark, NJ at the New Jersey Institute of Technology. Students with limited access to financial resources and few "connections" became my passion. Institute leadership, in search of a direction, became my humor. They took too long to fire me. I was threatened with unknown criminal charges if I refused to accept their professor emeritus package? I preferred five years in court where some companies I advised paid the cost, to learn about New Jersey law. Based on my resume, website and fund raising, a newly appointed provost mistakenly asked me to be an acting dean for a year. To do so I turned down a leadership research position in Beijing. As "acting like a dean," I attracting considerable new funding, brought in a prestigious Board, expanded the EMBA, rebuilt the facilities and kept AACSB accreditation. The probationary accreditation turned into the award for the most improved AACSB school that year. The EMBA was expanded 300% and was then slated to double enrollment the next year. One hour after receiving the accreditation letter the president fired me. He thought the school should be for undergraduate athletes that don't graduate anyway. This was in the tradition of Trump University leadership where Altenkirch, Christie and Bloom wanted loyalty, not progress. China then cancelled a high profile venture with NJIT where 25 Chinese business leaders would come and take 4 NJIT-Wharton taught courses. This was between Tsinghua University and NJIT. Tsinghua is the world's leading AI and CIS Schools. They took their NJIT agreement to Harvard. NJIT students thus lost many opportunities for the future.

Worked to help students assume leadership roles in a changed society via: 1) using university encumbrances to learn to see the differences that make a difference, 2) smiling at conflicts that ultimately don't matter, and 3) how to be comfortable dealing with phenomena yet to be named. Carried out studies demonstrating how and why NJIT students were some of the most desirable employees in the world in that they arose from tough backgrounds, were frequently treated badly by their chosen university via cost too high, leaders not leading, professors not professing, yet could continue with humor and passion, i.e., they had been there and were not deterred by the trivia of corporate life. I was humbled by their enthusiasm for life and living.

Held lecture and discussion sessions in the Ph.D. Program, School of Public Policy and Management. Advisor to students of the program. Several visiting my homes in NJ and Iowa, and NJIT, where they took my courses at the Business School. Tsinghua's program is of very high quality with the timely research issues, coupled to the best of the best students and faculty. US needs a similar program. Kennedy at Harvard should be as good, and maybe one day will become so.

Stockholm, Stockholms Län, Se

Helped create IIB with two friends, Dr. Gunnar Hedlund, and Dr. Lars Otterbeck. It was an international business research group for PhD students working with major international firms. Initiated the research part of IIB with a project on the role of business in creating environmental deterioration globally, and what the private and public sectors could jointly do to manage it. Project was titled: "Environmental Deterioration: Analytic Solutions in Search of Synthetic Problems." 1975-1977. Sweden's Prime Minister presented the results to OECD in Paris. The three volume final research reporting included work from Exxon's Chief Scientist on the emergence of "climate change" from human activities. The conclusion was that governmental regulation would not be capable of managing the emerging crisis for systems of life.

Helped create the Design School from the College of Engineering, and then establish a new School of Business at Iowa State University. Established new graduate programs, sources of external funding, research funding, external lectures program and international student recruitment. Also help encourage some professors to retire and think about their accomplishments. Was chair of a committee to establish a new business school. I proposed a school emphasizing business as unusual, thus being a leader for the next century. The University president was thinking more in line with what he called "An Average Iowa Type School." I submitted a report to him on "How to have the most mediocre business school in America." He fired me. So sad, no humor there....ha..ha.. May he rest in peaceful mediocrity. ISU had great students. Liked them, much. Carried out and completed research into why Colleges of Design should not leave Colleges of Engineering, yet have more autonomy. No one paid attention, of course. It was demonstrated that students needed the offerings of both schools. Project was funded by the National Endowment for the Arts. Most US Departments of Architecture did end up leaving their former homes in Engineering. Architecture moved away from technology. Engineering moved away from design.
