MSC PEP

on
MSC Professional Enhancement Programme (PEP) is a newly established initiative by MSC Malaysia to complement the government of Malaysia's move towards the K-economy.

According to TMS (The Media Shoppe) ...

In the Malaysian context, at the 6th International Research Conference on Quality, Innovation and Knowledge organized by a consortium of Australian and Malaysian Universities, the CEO of ISIS and keynote speaker, Tan Sri Dr. Noording Sophee, highlighted the Malaysian quest for continued economic growth. Malaysia has been growing well over the last 50 years and has evolved from an economy which was based on agriculture to industrial/capital, then technology and now, knowledge. This quest for continued economic growth is now been impeded by a number of key concerns at the macro-economic level, which are:


  • Economic transformation and emergence of the K-economy
  • Globalization and impact of ICT and Internet
  • Increased competition and competitiveness
  • Scarcity of labor
  • Production sophistication
  • Shift in the traditional value chain from supply to knowledge
  • Heavy reliance and depedency on infusion of traditional capital
These marco-economic developments will, in turn, result in the following concerns of issues at the micro-economic level:

  • Need for increased productivity
  • Need for increased innovation and adaptability
  • Need to gain competitive advantage
  • Shift of paradigm in the way business is to be run in the future
  • Using knowledge resources and assets to achieve competitive advantage
  • Harnessing the intellectual capital and enhancing organizational intelligence in the quest to be more innovative and competitive
  • Managing knowledge workers - a new breed of workers
  • Understanding and leading in the practice of Knowledge Management


So, it is a very economical issue.
