His presentation centered on the fact that businesses, and executives at all levels of management, must constantly revolutionize their thinking, processes, and businesses in order to survive in a "hyper-competitive" and evolving international marketplace. His fundamental premise: companies must engage in continuous renewal through non-crisis-driven, non-trivial change. Professor Erevelles kept his audience both entertained and attentive with his frequent use of real world case studies to reinforce this basic premise.
