Most people have already been notified of the reviewer responses. I'd suggest you plan to submit a proposal next year. I am sorry, but the proposal period is now closed.

Leadership in a Global Environment: Workforce Integration via Product Lifecycle Management Globalization of business is forcing leaders/managers to grapple with complex issues as they seek to implement effective global business strategies. Faced with unprecedented levels of foreign competition at home and abroad, organizations must find and nurture top notch talent if they are to gain and sustain a competitive edge. In today’s age of digital connectivity, firms pay little attention to national borders as they search for talent. Leading/managing and integrating a global workforce, however, can be particularly challenging when working cross borders, cultures, and time zones. The purpose of this course is to help participants gain leadership knowledge and “people skills” - the soft side of management - required to work effectively in a global environment. This papers presents an open systems model of global leadership. Issues concerning global workforce integration are addressed as participants consider opportunities and challenges of Product Lifecycle Management (PLM), an information-driven business approach, and platform for workforce integration.
