The flexibility provides a rich education; it fosters opportunities for students to experience those profound "aha" moments that anchor past, present and future learning. Our world is increasingly interconnected and interdependent. New areas of study develop to advance human knowledge and respond to the challenges of our changing world with insight and innovation.

Even though i-deals can be an effective tool for employers to motivate individual workers (i-dealers), they always have a risk to demotivate coworkers by raising the problems of legitimacy and injustice due to differential treatment (Hornung, Rousseau & Glaser, 2008). The relationship between idiosyncratic deals and effective organizational commitment was stronger for those managers who had low core self-evaluations.…
