"In medieval times, stone castles dotted the countryside of Europe.
They attracted itinerant merchants and craftsmen who would wander
from castle to castle selling their labor, products, and services.
When wars occurred between the castle rulers which resulted in one
castle taking over another, it was a common practice of the time to
plunder the castles treasures, take prisoners, and scatter the
occupants of the enemy castle throughout the countryside. Today,
corporate castles of steel and glass dot the countryside of many
modern nations. Itinerant professional college students and workers
wander from corporate castle to corporate castle seeking employment
much as their ancestors might have done during the middle ages.
When modern economic wars between castles occur and one corporate
castle takes over another corporate castle, the assets of the
acquired corporation are taken over and the occupants of the former
corporation are either incorporated into the new corporation or
laid off."
-T. H. Henning, From "Web Based Corporate Institutes"
Defense industry and commercial industry corporate executives
who are searching for strategies and solutions to better manage
people in multicultural corporations may find a solution in "Web
Based Corporate Institutes." The case for developing a web based
corporate institute as one way to resolve human resource
development issues is thought provoking and insightful. The author
provides highlights from his experience at International Business
Machines Corporation, Loral Corporation, Lockheed Martin
Corporation, Litton Industries TASC (now a division of Northrop
Grumman), and Veridian (recently acquired by General Dynamics).
