This thread ties into a recently-discovered knot. I just finished reading two
articles (one Brown, Collins, and Duguid) about "authentic situations" and am
puzzling with the questions--what makes a situation or context authentic? What
then is an INauthentic situation or context? I'm working with Chinese students
in their efforts to understand management cases in their MBA program. The
question of authenticity promises to take some interesting turns in my
(in?)authentic situation.
