Innovation and Systems Thinking for the 21st century
Dundee Business School, University of Abertay, Kydd Building Bell St, Dundee, DD1 1HG room 1001 (ground floor by entrance)
Friday 18th November, 2011 (1.30pm)
Current problems in business and organisations are not being solved by existing theories of management. This programme brings together a community of management practitioners, together with academics and consultants, with the aim of sharing experiences and disseminating knowledge of best practice and research. If you are a senior manager concerned with solving today’s problems, or if you are an entrepreneur wanting to introduce innovation, this programme would introduce you to likeminded and similarly experienced people. Dundee Business School is facilitating a programme of events over the coming months introducing lead thinkers from the world of business, management and academia.
