Dr. Joseph K. Derosa, Director of Systems Engineering for MITRE Corporation Command and Control Centers.
Description
Corporations are like living organisms – they evolve and adapt. They can start out simple, and go through successive stages of increased complexity and organization. They have their own niche in the business ecosystem. Individual companies, as well as the entire business segment to which they belong, face dangers of extinction from competitors and the environment. At the same time some adapt and thrive. This is the story about the on-going evolution of a company known for its expertise in traditional systems engineering toward the murky waters of complex systems and enterprise systems engineering.
