Message from the director
We are living through an era of unprecedented change. Over the last decade, a phenomenal acceleration in technological developments has created countless new business opportunities for the skilled entrepreneur. A wave of cross-border mergers and acquisitions is creating a new type of transnational corporations, and the rules of corporate governance are being redefined, as a new stakeholder activism takes form.
In the 21st century, managers, corporations, and even nations will have to reinvent themselves continually. Corporations that survive the challenge of change will be complex and global organisations while having the agility and innovativeness of start-ups. They will be fierce competitors in the borderless economy, yet respectful of people and the environment.
A new breed of managers will be required to lead these corporations. Managers who have the vision, dynamism, and flexibility of entrepreneurs. Leaders who can motivate teams and empower individuals to create and innovate. Individuals who have the intellect and skills to manage across cultures, understand rapid changes, and question themselves and their environment.
