TRACK DESCRIPTION:
Strategic and competitive considerations have long been separated from the technological innovation activities of the firm due to the complexities involved in integrating technology and innovation issues into the firms overall strategic planning. The key question is what will it take to be a success in the business environment of tomorrow? Three forces account for most of the convergence of business strategy with organizational structure and information systems. They are rapid innovation of new information technologies, widespread creation of new ideas and concepts about information itself, and extensive development of new information-intensive organizational forms and business strategies. As more countries join the ranks of the industrialized nations, the sophistication of the global market and number of global competitors have eliminated any advantage to a simple presence in international markets. Companies tied to the information economy are typically global from their inception - the Internet does not permit them to compete in only national markets. At the same time we see massive consolidations of industries from automobiles to banking to pharmaceuticals to cell phones and Internet service providers around the globe. Today the international/global/multinational/transnational organization must employ strategic thinking to compete successfully. The focus of this track will be on understanding the fundamental conditions of the industry and the firm in order to generate and sustain a competitive strategy.
