The Future of Industry and Innovation in Asia: Firms, Networks and Alliances
Asian firms and industries power the world economy, with three of the largest, most rapidly changing economies and six of the ten most populous countries in the world located in Asia. Yet, with a possible exception of Japan, we know surprisingly little about Asia’s firms and industries. This conference seeks to remedy the situation by convening a group of leading scholars at Stanford University on July 8-9, 2010, and publishing an edited volume and special journal issue. The conference is co-sponsored by the Pacific Roundtable on Industry, Society and Management, Stanford University’s Center for South Asia Studies, and the Lucas Graduate School of Business.

As part of the continuing process of knowledge enhancement and skill development, our MBA One students participated in a case analysis exercise recently. This was the 2nd of 5 cases that the students will analyze during the duration of the program. The topic for this exercise was Innovation/Technology Management and was led by our faculty, Professors Isabelle Lescent-Giles and Noorein Inamdar. Additionally, the students were privileged to listen to two of our distinguished alumni: Melissa Dyrdahl (former CMO, Adobe) and Martin Brauns (former CEO, Interwoven) who shared their insights and experiences on the above topics. Twelve student teams (divided into two pools) analyzed the Webvan case and presented the same to faculty teams. The best team from each pool then presented their analysis to the distinguished executives named above, faculty and to their peers. This was a great learning opportunity for the students; they thoroughly benefited from and enjoyed the exercise.
