The 2007 Vienna Conference brings together Business Educators, Academics, and Professionals in the fields of Education, HR, Training and Development to exchange ideas and knowledge about innovative learning practices in business education and training for business change. The 2007 conference addresses the issue of how we can bridge the learning needs in business schools and the workplace. A compelling challenge is how business managers can make a balanced use of digital tools and professional competencies to improve business performance. While technology provides professionals with new tools for increased performance, professionals are also faced with the challenge of communicating and managing effectively in a virtual world. In preparing business graduates, business schools face the challenge on how digital tools can be applied in business education to improve learning. Just as technology skills are not the only solution for business professionals, digital tools are not the sole solution for designing learning platforms for students.
The 2007 EDINEB conference is organized around two major questions. 1) How business managers can apply digital tools to strengthen professional competencies and improve business performance? 2) How can we better prepare our students - the Net Generation - for the realities of the global business world?
Papers, workshop deliverables and discussion outcomes will be posted at our EDiNEB website. Selected papers will be published in our new book series initiative "Advances in Business Education and Training."
