72 BizEd JANUARY | FEBRUARY 2015 word for word " As millennials assume stronger positions as leaders and consumers, we can expect their views to more strongly influence global markets. Their mindset may fuel a rapid transformation of social entrepreneurs from a relatively narrow group of innovators to the way that 'business is done.'" —SOUSHIANT ZANGANEHPOUR, STRATEGY CONSULTANT AT SAÏD BUSINESS SCHOOL'S SKOLL CENTRE FOR SOCIAL ENTREPRENEURSHIP AND AUTHOR OF THE REPORT "(REDEFINING) SUCCESS IN A CHANGING WORLD" " IN THE AGE OF UNCERTAINTY, LEADERS ARE NO LONGER CHIEF DECISION MAKERS. INSTEAD, THEY'RE CHIEF EXPERIMENTERS." —NATHAN FURR AND JEFF DYER, THE INNOVATOR'S METHOD " A dean needs to see the big picture while still retaining an eye for detail. A dean needs to be like Steve Jobs, who would care about the color of the 'on' button, but who had the vision to see that someday we all could carry computers in our pockets." —GEORGETTE CHAPMAN PHILLIPS, DEAN OF LEHIGH UNIVERSITY'S COLLEGE OF BUSINESS AND ECONOMICS  " India has a population of 1.2 billion— with more than 70 percent in rural areas—that is rapidly coming online and is increasingly on smart phones. There is a massive opportunity to create efficient and responsive systems that could impact every aspect of life—specifically areas of education and gender equality." —DEB ROY, DIRECTOR OF THE NEWLY CREATED LABORATORY OF SOCIAL MACHINES AT MIT " UNIVERSITIES ARE CRITICAL INSTITUTIONS IN A HUMAN- CAPITAL ECONOMY. … WE PLAY NUMEROUS ROLES, NOT THE LEAST OF WHICH IS TAKING RESEARCH IDEAS BOTH IN THE BASIC AND APPLIED SPHERES AND TRANSLATING THEM INTO GOODS, SERVICES, AND PRODUCTS THAT CAN MATERIALLY CONTRIBUTE TO THE HUMAN CONDITION." —RONALD J. DANIELS, PRESIDENT OF JOHNS HOPKINS UNIVERSITY, AT THE OCTOBER 2014 TECHNOLOGY TRANSFER SOCIETY CONFERENCE IN BALTIMORE, MARYLAND
