Highlighted Sessions
Managing Strategic Dynamics for Corporate Longevity
We will start our program by constructing a framework of the dynamic interactions between a focal organization and its environment. We will also present a framework of an organization’s strategy-making process that serves to deal with the various nonlinear strategic dynamics situations that it may face in its evolution. We will use these two frameworks to briefly illuminate the nonlinear strategic dynamics situations Intel Corporation has faced in its evolution, and examine their resource allocation implications. Related to this, we will discuss a simple framework that highlights different strategic resource allocation choices that top management must consider to cope with nonlinear strategic dynamics.
Global Strategic Dynamics in the Automotive Industry
In this session, we will discuss one of the most intriguing strategic leadership cases in today’s global environment: the dual-CEO-ship of Carlos Ghosn, who leads both Nissan and Renault in the global automotive industry.
Organizing for Innovation in a Global Economy
Organizations can grow only through innovation. How do organizations organize innovations so that they can tap into the talents of all employees? How do they open source innovations? This session focuses on cutting edge practices to build an innovation mindset in the global enterprise.
Cross-Boundary Disruptors (XBD)
In this session, we will discuss the concept of “cross-boundary disruptor” (“XBD”) as a new type of entrepreneurial actor in inter-industry strategic dynamics. We will examine how the confluence of forces that drove the convergence of the music and computing industries gave rise to Apple Computer becoming a defining example of a cross-boundary disruptor to the music industry, and briefly explore Apple’s chances to do the same in the cellular telephony industry. Using our XBD conceptual framework, we will further examine what kind of company could become a cross-boundary disruptor in the US healthcare industry to help overcome its long-standing stasis.
Google Android as Would-Be XBD of the Global Wireless Communications Industry
In this session, we will apply the XBD framework to the study of Google Android as a would-be XBD of the global wireless communications industry.
Integrating Acquisitions in the Global Economy
Organizations also grow through acquisitions. We will explore and study the key issues of integrating acquisitions. This session offers a comprehensive overview of cultural due diligence and related pre-acquisition challenges such as talent identification. Further topics focus on the post-acquisition process to produce cost and revenue synergies. A session highlight will be the discussion of 100-day mergers and acquisitions integration plans. Programs, dates, fees, and faculty are subject to change. |
