OIA members participate in Collaboration, Social Media and Cloud Computing workshop

Published: 20/01/2010

On 10 December 2009 a small group of members of theOutdoor Industries Association(sponsors of Innovation for Extremes) participated in the closing workshop of Lancaster University Management School (LUMS) Innovation course on the MSc in E-business and Innovation programme on social media and collaboration. The idea of drawing business and the university together is core to the Institute for Entrepreneurship and Enterprise Development where their research and teaching is inseparable from the work they do with business.

The session was a taster, drawing attention to the importance of collaborative platforms and social media, the speed of change and the implications for business.
