Description The mission and resource of the Center allow it to combine a broad perspective on emerging conditions and technologies with an in-depth understanding of business realities. As a result, it is able to translate the leading edge into practical solution frameworks for tomorrow's managers. The research agenda of the Center is shaped by our vision of an increasingly connected economy. There is no doubt that connections and ways of connecting have proliferated wildly-among firms, among individuals, among computers, and more. In a highly connected world, things don't simply happen faster.
Different things happen.
Economies behave in non-classical ways. Firms take on different structures. Different kinds of assets drive competitiveness. All this calls for new theories of management and new tools for managing. The Center is at the forefront of this revolution.
