REMARKS FROM THE EDITOR

Everyone virtually has a working knowledge of the changes occuring in society and in world business, yet each one of us has somewhat different experiences with these changes. With the ever increasing development of information technology, you can imagine how such a paradigm shift would have affected not only science but every part of society and every individual in it. 

The old paradigm is  reflected as people who would not even know what a paradigm was, swept so much under the carpet that they could not stand anymore. The new paradigm that is replacing the old scientific one has many aspects, but its foundation is the notion that is consciously causal – that the world is as we see it and that the power of the individual is far more vast than we could have previously imagined. 

The new paradigm is more than just a move to the powers of technology or the individual mind. It is a move to the spirit; to inner qualities such as intuition, will, joy, strength and compassion. The new paradigm refers to the power of inner wisdom. In business, the new paradigm is illustrated by the surprising breakthroughs in personal creativity that occur when people are given responsibility for their actions in new paradigm sorts of organizations. 

Leaders in any organization, profit and not for profit, from very small start-ups to multinational corporation, are recognizing and more importantly, acting on the shift to the new paradigm. Let’s practice the new paradigm, as the old one is no longer effective. With the new leader, new spirit we will have new paradigm in public relations practice in Indonesia. Changing paradigm in Public Relation – A review on Theory and Practice, a public seminar – Saturday, October 9th. Gain Knowledge, Strategy, Experience, and Networking. See You!

Best Wishes,
