Internet changes public and private organizations. It is a revolution at the
world level. For the first time, interaction between companies, education
and training, governments and administrations, must be approached in a
global vision. Information technologies modify in depth our way of thinking
speaking, working, entertaining, or buying and selling, our relations with
the others.
Companies have to rethink new managers profiles, new structures. This
impacts as much on the educational systems and training, as on the upgrading
due to the evolution of traditional functions and the emergence of new jobs.
Governments and administrations will integrate those new models which will
drive bureaucracies to more transparency and more respect for the citizens.
We live under the sign of speed and adaptation to a permanent change. It is
necessary for us to try to follow, to understand. We are coming into a new
civilization.
