Pasadena, CA (PRWEB) May 7, 2008 -- A Texas Instrument's Digital Light Processing division (http://www.technologymarketingcenter.com) (DLP®) executive will discuss their novel organizational development initiative to transfer engineers into product marketing at 10am PDT, May 27 in a free, online interview. Anyone with a computer and Internet connection can attend and submit questions.
Chris Halliwell, director and co-founder of the California Institute of Technology Industrial Relations Center's online community, the Technology Marketing Center (TMC), will interview DLP's Dennis Fritsche, Manager of Business Process Improvements, about the Product Marketing Manager Development Program. Fritsche will explain how skills assessment concepts, classroom instruction, and real world projects were combined to develop engineers' strategic marketing skills, and ultimately place these technical managers in marketing jobs.
"Like many technology-driven organizations, the supply of highly technical marketing professionals has not kept pace with the number and complexity of DLP's product development programs," said Halliwell. "The DLP program focus on technical managers, and on experiential learning to teach marketing strategy, is aligned with TMC's mission to promote technology marketing professionalism, and is unique in combining skills development with actual job placement."

SEO (Search Engine Optimization) is a tool that people use on the internet in order to increase a search engine?s response to your web site. For instance, the phrase, ?This web site is all about dogs,? can be turned into a phrase, ?This dog web site has dog information, dog food, dog articles, and dog training techniques.? The first phrase may not be noticed in a search engine such as Google or Yahoo. When someone types in the word ?dog,? the likelihood that the search engine will return the web site?s URL will be very low. Unlike the second phrase, if a user types in the word ?dog,? since there are a lot of instances where the word ?dog? was used, the likelihood that the search engine will return the web site URL is high.
