Round Table Features

Round table is a circular piece of furniture that actually has a very old origin and perhaps without a trace of its origin. Based on this type of tables, the round table was mythologized in the English tale of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table.

Following the concept of the round table, the round table can be understood as a suitable or ideal place to carry out debates and dissertations in relative equality of circumstances.

These tables are used in administration to discuss problems and present the corresponding solutions. Selected experts from the companies take part in these tables; it is clear that the round table can change circumstances and be a square or rectangular table and what remains is the concept of equality and that is why it is understood as a round table to the "ideas dissertation”.
