Dear Management Educators:
This maybe of interest to MG-ED-DV members in around Ohio/Michigan/Indiana
and Western Pennsylvania. Others, please excuse the posting - though you
may find the attached seminar brochure of interest.
I shall be facilitating a full-semester seminar on INTERNET STRATEGY here
at Bowling Green (Toledo) Ohio later this semester. The seminar is being
conducted in an Executive MBA format, with class meetings on six Saturdays
during April 1 - May 6. Faculty for the seminar includes senior
professionals from organizations such as ChryslerDaimler, FreeMarkets, IBM,
NextBase, and Oracle. I believe this is the most comprehensive and
practical seminar on this topic available today.
Peter Drucker once said, "A time of turbulence is a dangerous time, but its
greatest danger is the temptation to deny reality." The reality of our 24X7
digital economy is that the Internet and e-business are changing
organizations, business processes, and our very lives in fundamental ways.
Here are some indications of things to come over the next 2-3 years:
1. Ford recently decided to provide a PC and Internet connection to each
one of their 350,000 employees at their homes. Delta Airlines is doing the
same.
2. You can buy a print copy of Encyclopedia Britannica for about £1,000 or
the entire contents on a CD-ROM for £400. Last November, the company
decided to place the full Britannica on their Web site - free for anyone to
use. We will continue to see examples of more and more companies that are
essentially destroying their existing business models in favor of e-biz
models.
3. General Electric CEO Jack Welch recently told all executives to find a
mentor in the company, someone much younger to them, to help them learn
about Internet and the World Wide Web. To emphasize the point, he himself
is being coached by the head of GE.COM - someone thirty years younger to
him.
4. You can now send (actually send) cash by email through
www.paypal.com
and it won't cost you a thing.
A seminar brochure in PDF format is attached. Let me know if there are any
