He will draw on his extensive experience advising corporate and governmental entities on how to radically rethink productivity, as well as on recent research demonstrating the link between business re\u2011engineering and economic growth.<br \/>\nThe address will also examine lessons from both developed and developing economies, and highlight the role of universities as catalysts for technological and institutional leapfrogging. The conference will likewise feature Professor Isaac Ayandele of the University of Calabar as lead paper presenter, and will bring together members of the business community, policymakers, faculty, students, and other stakeholders to interrogate how business process re\u2011engineering is shaping the economic fortunes of nations.<br \/>\nThe Head of Department of Business Administration at IAUOE, Dr. James Vinazor, said the keynote aims to provoke a deeper conversation on the need for business process re\u2011engineering to become a deliberate national productivity strategy. He described Dr. Peterside as uniquely positioned to address the theme, given his long-standing engagement at the intersection of policy formulation, business advisory, and operational management.<br \/>\nDr. Vinazor added that the international conference marks a new era of town\u2011gown collaboration that will help society tackle its most pressing and complex challenges. The event is open to all stakeholders, but prior registration is compulsory.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nationally acclaimed columnist, management turnaround expert, and former Director General\/Chief Executive of the Nigeria Maritime Administration and Safety Agency (NIMASA), Dr. Dakuku Peterside, will deliver the keynote address on &ldquo;Business Re&#8209;engineering: A Catalyst for Economic Development&rdquo; at the First International Management Conference, organised by the Department of Business Administration, Ignatius Ajuru University of Education (IAUOE), [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":5210,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_exactmetrics_skip_tracking":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_active":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_note":"","_exactmetrics_sitenote_category":0,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[3,14,173],"tags":[2159,643],"class_list":["post-5209","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-business","category-education","category-news-feature","tag-ignatius-ajuru-university-of-education-iauoe","tag-nigeria-maritime-administration-and-safety-agency-nimasa"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/shippingworld-ng.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5209","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/shippingworld-ng.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/shippingworld-ng.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/shippingworld-ng.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/shippingworld-ng.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5209"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/shippingworld-ng.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5209\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5212,"href":"https:\/\/shippingworld-ng.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5209\/revisions\/5212"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/shippingworld-ng.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/5210"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/shippingworld-ng.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5209"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/shippingworld-ng.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5209"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/shippingworld-ng.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5209"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
