We are pleased to invite you to IEDC Alumni Refreshment course »Minding our P’s Q’s and I’s: How to manage in a Horizontal Environment«, led by Prof. Randy Kudar, Canada, one of the greatest management educators and experts in management and application of quality and productivity to organizations, and the application of the theories of modern physics and biology to management and organizations. He is Professor Emeritus at the Ivey Business School and has been Visiting Professor at IEDC from 1994 to 2013.

The course will take place on Wednesday, September 13, at 14:00 - 17:00, at the IEDC-Bled School of Management.

About the topic

There are several things that are happening that make the perspective of Managing in a Horizontal Environment (Minding our Productivity, Quality, and Interdependence) relevant at this time. This includes the breakdown of globalization in business and the supply chains. This puts greater pressure on domestic markets, and domestic competition for companies. The advent of Artificial Intelligence is revolutionizing our concepts of business and information. There is a critical need to know what is fact and what is fiction or "fake news". This demands a cybernetic approach to examining issues and problems facing management now.
