It has become commonplace to recognize that in the last 100 years we have come to live in an interactive, interconnected, global environment. This is evident by the presence of ceramic manufacturing in the far corners of the world, and by the proliferation of international meetings. This special ACerS Centennial Symposium discusses changes affecting the ceramics industry, management and ceramic science, and technology and engineering as a result of the changed nature of international globalization. Managers, researchers, marketers, and technicians in ceramics and related fields will benefit from this timely subject matter.
Papers presented at the 100th Annual Meeting of the American Ceramic Society, Cincinnati, Ohio (1998).
