Visitor and Guest Talk Gary Hamel
This week we had the pleasure to welcome Gary Hamel at our Faculty of Business at the University of Innsbruck. Gary is one of our collaboration partners and is considered one of the most influential management thinkers of our time. With his previous works on "strategic intenet" and "core competences" Gary has shaped the management research landscape. This week our faculty and our students had the opportunity to listen to his thoughts on management research and to a Keyonote on "Humanocracy: How to Build an Organization That’s Fit for the Future“. Gary Hamel's visit was also a great opportunity to invite our company project partners that joined us for a great exchange and discussion about their current challenges.
