Strategic Perspectives on Change in the Information Industry
Program Chair: Mike Tansey
Institute for Scientific Information (ISI)
Abstract: Change, driven by technology is redefining the roles
of all players in the Information Industry. It is clear that
organizations within the Information Industry must adapt rapidly
to these changes, ensuring an appropriate position for the
future.
How do organizations manage the implementation of this change?
How do the changing dynamics of the industry affect the strategic
planning and positioning of the organization?
ASIDIC's Spring 1997 conference will examine the impact of change
on the strategic direction of General Reference, Business
Information, and the Scientific and Technical Information
Industry. Within each subject grouping, speakers representing
primary publishers, secondary publishers, distributors, and
customers will discuss the impact of change on their
organization's strategy and planning processes. An expert in
each industry segment will moderate the question and discussion
sessions.
