Call for Papers & Conference Announcement
13th Annual EDiNEB International Conference
http://www.EDINEB.net/
Leading Innovation in Global Education & Training
June 14-16, 2006
Marriott Hotel Lisbon, Portugal
The 2006 Lisbon 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 global business change. The EDiNEB conference is organized around two Tracks that address issues of education and training from different perspectives.
1. Leveraging Performance in Training and Development
The continuous development of new products, services or processes all over the world demand change for almost any organization whether operating on a global or local scale. However, current business practice also shows that many change processes stall prematurely or fail to achieve their desired result. Training and development play a key role in leveraging the learning capacity of an organization. Training that adds value to individual employees, and to global business enterprises.
2. Readiness for Global Business Education
Business education has been repeatedly criticized for the delivery of graduates that do not surpass the level of being competent. Business enterprises demand graduates that become true experts. But can business schools indeed create learning experiences that address the needs of the global marketplace? Do they prepare students for changing business practices? Can they demonstrate the value of their teaching? Can business schools teach students to build learning organizations within the global market place as business is calling for?
