Mediterranean School of Business Professor Tawfik Jelassi explains the objective of the First Mediterranean Workshop on Management Information Systems (November 14-21, 2009) in his own words which is to highlight the strategic and competitive role of Information and Communication Technology. As stated by Dr. Jelassi, technology is no more regarded as ...a support tool but also as an enabler in the business process since it transforms the product, service process, as well as business models. Finally, managers are invited to use these opportunities created by IT to better compete in the marketplace and reinvent their companies.

Mediterranean School of Business MSB brings together leading professors to provide a 360 degree perspective about Marketing, Negotiations and Customer Relationship Management. Imperative insights related to marketing strategy design and implementation, use of technology to build and sustain relationships with customers, and tools to better negotiate a...nd partner are gained through a highly interactive learning experience. This objective-focused tailored program will immerse senior and mid-level executives with concrete plans, tools, and models crucial to enhance and reinvent their approach to Marketing Management.
