  1. Gathering Data: Interview Process Research Methods for Managers

  2. Background • FYI: thesis info • Background: I am currently working on my masters thesis (capstone project) at the Technology Graduate Center of Marlboro College for the program in Internet Strategy Management. 

  3. Topic Area Definition • 1. Exploring technologies and methodologies to generate accelerated innovation in environments impacted by unpredictability and uncertainty especially in the wake of disruptive technologies and the current economic turbulence.(integrating the works of Clayton Christensen/The Innovator's Dilemma and Geoffrey Moore/Crossing the Chasm) • 2. Systemitize the people technology and integrate it with the business processes in order to eliminate organizational constriction and harness/direct collaboration and creativity towards elegant solution generation(harnessing eMotion methodologies).

  4. Problem Statement/YOUR Personal Interest • Dynamic changes in the market environment are requiring businesses of all sizes to find new paradigms for work processes, organization interactions to effectively innovate, solve problems and generate solutions. • The old system of command-and-control, silos and hierarchical decision-making is proving less effective. A new paradigm of cross-functional collaboration and high connectivity is imperative. The advent of the internet and new technologies is enabling fast adoption of this new way of doing business. Importantly, businesses that do not take advantage of this new paradigm and technology may very well become “dead in the water”.
