“The
only source of sustainable competitive advantage is the capacity of
the institution to learn more and faster than it’s competitors”
– Arie de Geus, author of “The Living Company” and
former Vice President of Group Planning at Royal Dutch/Shell. In
a time of increasingly accelerated change and growing interdependence
of institutions, great adaptation power and pro-activity is demanded
to face new realities. Institutions need to develop their own capacity
to promote and manage their changes. In other words, it is not exclusively an HR department’s challenge. Institutions as a whole can take over the process of change as they “learn to learn”, as they explore and question restrictions that keep the institution at present performance levels, and in this way “reinvent” themselves to reach the future that they really wish for. |
VENTURE OUT! In this interactive simulation, you will be exposed to the experience of opening your own business, encountering all the difficulties that are inherent to the process. You will be responsible for making decisions regarding human resources, finance, production, research, marketing and sales, and in this manner, will be able to better understand the dynamics of an organization of this type, trying to make it grow and prosper. Further than its direct application for businessmen, this simulation can also be used on managers that encounter the challenge of practically running a company. This CD-ROM is part of a series of interactive simulators, produced by Harvard Business School Publishing. |
