Abstract
This paper describes an innovative approach to life-long learning as implemented in a large Industrial Cooperation Project between the USA and the Republic of China (ROC). This project was sponsored under the current Industrial Automation and e-Business Development plan by the Industrial Automation and e-Business Steering Committee for the ROC, and helps enable and accelerate Taiwan’s transition into a hub for managing a global extended enterprise. In accordance with internal e-Business objectives, the Taiwanese government charged the Boeing Company with building an e-Business laboratory, as well as with organising five workshops for training executives and technologists. George Mason University was asked to be the technical lead for the laboratory and for workshop development. The details of this unique approach to executive-level technology transfer are presented in this paper.
