Preparing Business Professionals For The Changing Global Workplace.

 

Balanced Use of Professional Competencies and Technology

 

June 20-22, 2007

Renaissance Penta Hotel Vienna, Austria

 

The 2007 Vienna Conference brings together Business Educators,
Academics, and Professionals in the fields of Education, HR, Training
and Development to exchange ideas and knowledge about innovative
learning practices in business education and training for business
change. The 2007 conference addresses the issue of how we can bridge the
learning needs in business schools and the workplace. A compelling
challenge is how business managers can make a balanced use of digital
tools and professional competencies to improve business performance.
While technology provides professionals with new tools for increased
performance, professionals are also faced with the challenge of
communicating and managing effectively in a virtual world. In preparing
business graduates, business schools face the challenge on how digital
tools can be applied in business education to improve learning. Just as
technology skills are not the only solution for business professionals,
digital tools are not the sole solution for designing learning platforms
for students.

The 2007 EDINEB conference is organized around two major questions. 1)
How business managers can apply digital tools to strengthen professional
competencies and improve business performance? 2) How can we better
prepare our students - the Net Generation - for the realities of the
global business world? 

 

Papers, workshop deliverables and discussion outcomes will be posted at
our EDiNEB website. Selected papers will be published in our new book
series initiative "Advances in Business Education and Training."
