11. Part 3: Insights from a Virtual Executive in Residence Maurice Hladik How I became an Executive in Residence Globalization?

12. What I do as a virtual Executive in Residence Encouraged to present business world as I see it, even if in conflict with some course material � however, usually compliments. Never asked to prepare lectures - free to deliver on subject matter and content. Deliverables:

13. Other EiR functions and observations From time to time, suggest where academy and academics can be more businesslike in their approach. Encourage adoption of current business practices in academic MBA conferencing - a key issue. Distance learning more realistic environment than traditional classroom in preparing MBA students for the business world. Spin-offs - the student coop concept. Integrate learning from sustainable business world, e.g., IOGEN

17. Iogen enzyme and cellulose ethanol facility

18. Front end hammermilling of wheat straw

19. Global Available Acreage

23. States capable of supporting a cellulose ethanol industry

24. DOE & USDA: Cellulose ethanol could displace over 30% of U.S. present petroleum consumption

25. Switchgrass Today Field yield = 5 tonnes of dry matter per acre Cellulose ethanol yield = 320 litres/80 gallons per tonne Value of switchgrass in the windrow = $15 per tonne (based on contracted straw with oil at $60/barrel) Yield to farmer = $75 per acre in the windrow Cellulose ethanol yield per acre = 1600 litres/400 gallons

26. Switchgrass Future Field yield = 10 tons of dry matter per acre Cellulose ethanol yield = 400 litres/100 gallons per tonne Yield to farmer ~> $200 per acre in the windrow Other dedicated biomass perennials: miscanthus, short rotation coppice willow, and energy cane show equal promise Cellulose ethanol yield per acre = 4000 litres/1000 gallons

28. Part 4 - Lessons learned Lessons learned include Use of an Executive-in-Residence has proven to be a cost-effective way to both broaden and deepen student learning in an online MBA seminar in global business An internationally-based faculty with a mix of academics and practitioners has substantially enriched student learning in this seminar Sharing and coordinating seminar content within an online MBA program has also proven beneficial, to both faculty and students UMUC - Work and Learn with the Best!

29. Lessons learnedStudent experience - email communication From: Barbara Jones To: Jane Ross Sent: Wednesday, July 26, 2006 7:22 PM Subject: Executive in Residence I found Mr. Hladik's contributions to be very useful. His experience in international business added real- life insight to the textbook and other readings, especially when he was able to provide examples of actual events in which he participated. I found the "practical insights" to be my favorite readings each week. Mr. Hladik's articles were unpretentious and didn't always agree with other sources in the course, which added depth to the material and helped us exercise critical thinking. Mr. Hladik served almost like a mentor to us who have no global business exposure. Thank you for all your efforts this semester! Barb

30. Lessons learned Student experience - email communication From: Paul Brown To: Jane Ross Sent: Monday, July 31, 2006 Subject: Executive in Residence

31. I have a real-life executive summary experience to share with the class. I had been trying, literally for months, to spend some time with our CFO to present some insurance proposals to him. It was difficult to schedule this with him, and I finally asked him for a maximum of 30 minutes of his time.
