UNIVERSITY PARK, PA (May 5, 2008) – The Center for Digital Transformation at Penn State's Smeal College of Business will hold its semiannual Research Forum on May 13 and 14 on Penn State's University Park campus.
Speakers from Ernst & Young, Gartner, LiquidPlanner, and Penn State will discuss "The Next Enterprise" at the forum, which will take place in Smeal's Business Building. Executives from such leading organizations as AT&T, Deutsche Bank, Ernst & Young, IBM, Microsoft, SAP, Verizon, WPP, and Xerox are expected to attend.
Sessions will be devoted to examining the changes to organizations driven by powerful combinations of demographics, technology, and cultural changes.
"We'll be paying attention to the new ways people can and do organize, both to work and to interact," says John Jordan, executive director of the Center for Digital Transformation. "These new connections are embodied in such phenomena as Facebook, the global search for talent, and the use by terror networks of extremely nontraditional operational models, and they're all helping reshape the traditional enterprise."
