CETRA invites you to the International Meeting
THE MANAGEMENT OF COMPLEXITY
THE COMPLEXITY OF MANAGEMENT
Complexity, management and education
The new science of complex systems can change, and is changing, the business world. And it promises to provide concepts and methods which are effective in handling the problems raised by globalization and local development.
Complexity science is new, and is rapidly growing, so education and training must develop adequate programs to help managers and technicians to understand its main features. At this aim the CETRA project has been completed by a European consortium, headed by the Modena and Reggio Emilia University.
In the workshop “The complexity of management, the management of complexity”, which takes place at the end of the CETRA project, not only will its main results be presented, but it will also be shown how science, education and management are developing a new web of ideas and methods to deal with the challenges of innovation. Particular care will be devoted to the ways in which complexity can be applied in real industrial settings.
