The Stanford Graduate School of Business (GSB) brings its Stanford Executive Summit to Mumbai in a day-long learning event on the topic, "Perspectives for Success in a Global Environment." The course is offered in Mumbai on Thursday 8 November 2012, and New Delhi on 9 November 2012. Bringing together a select group of senior executives from around the world along with Stanford Executive Education past participants and University alumni, the Summit will give participants new research-based business frame works to positively impact their organizations.
Stanford Graduate School of Business Dean Garth Saloner will share his observations on current global business issues, offering new insights based on Stanford GSB's engagement with leading organizations around the world. Dean Saloner will be joined by Stanford GSB faculty member, William Barnett, who will share his research on how to best analyze and develop the special perspective necessary to successfully manage a global enterprise.
WHY:
Companies worldwide face a dizzying array of changes due to globalization. New technologies transform not only the high-tech sectors, but many traditional industries too. Often from unexpected places, new competitors materialize and challenge our established approaches to business. Regulatory changes, often coming from far away, introduce new rules of the game, new constraints on business, and new standards. Faced with these challenges, business leaders often find their old approaches to be inadequate, and yet are not sure what new practices would better fit today's changing landscape. Amid this uncertainty, we hear commonly from policymakers and pundits about the importance of macroeconomic, political, cultural, and technological changes sweeping the world economy. We know that the global economy is filled with potential opportunities, but it can be difficult to seize them when we are busy dealing with so many unforeseen challenges.
In these sessions, Professor William Barnett explains how globalization is the source of both the most daunting challenges and the most attractive opportunities facing business today. He starts with a riddle: Most of the economic growth being generated in the world economy today is coming from a relatively small number of unlikely businesses. These engines of growth are not the traditional large-scale enterprises we know from the 20th- century. Rather, most of these businesses are relatively new firms that approach business in ways that were not imaginable just a few years ago. Professor Barnett explains the underlying source of these new, high-growth firms, and spells out the leadership lessons they offer for managers in today's changing business environment.
