Oak Brook, IL —Two upcoming Executive Broadcasts from Manufacturing Business Technology present high-level analyst discussions and real-life user case studies on critical manufacturing topics. Hear “The value of good partnerships,” featuring IBM, at noon EST on Oct. 5, 2005. “Demand-driven model powers global customer fulfillment at Trane” will air at 1 pm EST on Oct. 12, 2005.

For technology vendors and manufacturers alike, it is impossible for any single company to command the entire business landscape. As such, selecting the right partners may be the most important skill any manager can have today.
