The World Foundation for Smart Communities is an educational program of the International Center for Communications founded by Van Deerlin Professor of Communications and Public Policy, John M. Eger at San Diego State University. The program was created in 1997 to help communities worldwide better understand the important role of technology, economic development and importantly, creativity and innovation to success and survival in the new global economy.
The industrial economy is giving way to an innovation and creative economy and corporations are at another crossroads. Attributes that made them ideal for the 20th century could cripple them in the 21st; they will have to change dramatically. The main struggle of daily business will be won by the people and the organizations that adapt most successfully to the new world that is unfolding.
