5 FRIDAY SEPTEMBER 30TH REGISTRATION AND REFRESHMENTS CHAIRMAN S INTRODUCTION Daniel Franklin, Executive Editor, The Economist MORNING INTRODUCTION STRATEGIES FOR A NEW WORLD OF OPPORTUNITY PREPARING FOR A MULTIDIMENSIONAL WORLD: Re-define, re-design and re-shape your global market strategy In the past, companies have often taken a fairly simplistic analysis of their foreign markets. This is starting to change, with leading firms from all markets the world building more sophisticated views of their customer bases. In today s radically transforming world economy, companies from developed and high-growth market countries alike must remodel and innovate their global business strategies and their products to keep up with new competitors not only abroad but also in their home markets. An ever-increasing amount of successful innovations come directly from growth economies. Moderated by James Watson, Contributing Editor, Economist Intelligence Unit James will set the scene with an EIU research paper on how to cope with increasing competition in a multidimensional world How India s innovators change the game Nirmalya Kumar, Professor of Marketing, Director of Centre for Marketing, and Co-director, Aditya V Birla India Centre at London Business School En route to high growth: strategies for innovative product and brand development Hagen Fendler, Chief Design Director, Handsets,Huawei The role of design in creating a successful business strategy for high-growth markets David Butler, Vice-president, Global Design, The Coca-Cola Company Discussion: The speakers will join James in a discussion differentiating and making a case for their specifically chosen strategies REFRESHMENT BREAK SUCCEEDING IN A NEW WORLD OF OPPORTUNITY THE NECESSITY AND INEVITABILITY FOR GLOBAL ECONOMIC CHANGE Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, Former President of Brazil CHINA INWARDS AND OUTWARDS LUNCH China s rapidly growing economy offers tremendous business opportunities but choosing the right approach for entering the market can be a challenge. Also, as Chinese manufacturing and exports have increased, so have governmental responses from the world. What are the implications of Chinese regulation for both domestic and international business strategy, as well as trade and foreign investment? How can corporations respond effectively? Usha will propose new strategies for doing business in China. Bill and Sitao will then form a discussion that will assess the practical implications of applying these methods. Moderated by Xu Sitao, Director, China, The Economist Corporate Network; Global Forecasting Director, China, Economist Intelligence Unit Usha C V Haley, Professor of International Business, Massey University; Research Associate, Economic Policy Institute Bill Scotting, Executive Vice-president & Head of Strategy, ArcelorMittal AFRICA: A new rising star? Nearly as urbanised as China, Africa s cities are growing faster than Asia s. They are likely to triple in size by 2040 providing a vast amount of new business opportunities. On top of this, the continent s emerging middle classes provide new grounds for both domestic and international businesses to grow. Which are the most promising sectors to get involved in? And which countries are often overlooked but bear surprising potential? What is the secret of African companies that successfully grow across continents? How do both domestic and international companies address the main challenges when doing business on the continent? A panel of experts will unravel the opportunities companies must not miss out on in Africa this year.
