Seminar Abstract
STRATEGIC INITIATIVES
Fusion of Knowledge, Economic, and Management Concepts
The purpose of this seminar is to focus on the research and practices focused on strategic organizational initiatives that require scholars and practitioners who:
? understand how knowledge and expertise is gained and utilized,
? understand economic principles and practices, and
? understand management concepts that hold it all together for the purpose of advancing the system.
As organizational systems increase in complexity, as customer demands increase in variety, and as marketplace competition heats up-- the demands on scholars and practitioners intensifies. Thus, the practical purposes of this presentation are to focus on opportunities for scholars and practitioners to take the lead through strategic initiatives and to present some practical tools for assuming this leadership role.
