| At this time of rapid technological and economic changes, I am developing a strong
aversion to conventional wisdom. The global economy and the World Wide Web have broken
down the conventional law of economics and have reinforced our economic and cultural
interdependences (re: "Intellectual
Capital", by Thomas Stewart,
Doubleday / Currency, 1997). Our knowledge and economic products/services don't depreciate
anymore as they become more abundant, and intellectual capital is becoming a more
relevant resource than "brick and mortar". |

Last year, I approached Ms. Lynne
Pearson, Dean of Commerce at the University of Saskatchewan,
and in submitting my paper "Coping with changes: an overview
of the Learning Organization, Knowledge Economy and current practices in Information
Technology applications" I suggested that changes could be provided to
the curriculums of management and organizational courses. In particular, I made references
to the works of Peter
Senge (re: "The Fifth
Discipline", by Peter M. Senge, Currency Doubleday, 1990, Paperback Edition:
October 1994) and Michael Porter
(re: "Competitive Strategy:
Techniques for Analyzing Industries and Competitors", The Free Press, 60th
reprint 1998). The response of Ms. Pearson was to return my paper and in her accompanying
letter she mentioned that the university curriculums are revised in accordance to
established criteria satisfying the related needs. |
