Paul Dishman, visiting associate professor at the Marriott School, has been invited by the United Nations to lecture on competitive intelligence and knowledge management in China this September.
“It is a great honor to have a representative speaking at this important forum,” said Ned C. Hill, dean of the Marriott School at Brigham Young University. “China plays a significant role in the world economy.”
Dishman will participate in the United Nations Senior Technical Advisers Recruitment Program. He will be lecturing to groups of Chinese managers and academics in Beijing and Shanghai. Dishman will speak on applying competitive intelligence to the business alliance process and its role in technical environments.
“It is hoped that we will be able to formulate a continuing program of scholarship and intellectual interchange across the Pacific,” Dishman said.
Dishman is one of only thirteen professors in North America that teaches courses in competitive intelligence. In addition, he was recently elected to a three year term on the board of directors of the International Society of Competitive Intelligence Professionals.
