InnoBolt Connect

Invitation to InnoBolt Connect On topic of Growth Strategies: Issues and Challenges   Growth is a necessary phase in the evolution of a new company. But many firms fail at this point. Some experts will attest this is the most dangerous time for a new venture because the risks are higher than the start up phase. These mistakes can be avoided if the company understands the issues and challenges they will face and more importantly how to overcome them. The creation of a growth strategy can only be achieved by understanding the forces that affect growth and the need for a strategic planning process to facilitate the executive of new opportunities. It’s important for the company to assess the current strengths and weaknesses of the company before embarking on a set of growth strategies. This program will help the participants understand the issues and challenges around growing a business in order to be more successful in the future.   Conference Organizer&Sponsor: STEFG (Shanghai Technology Entrepreneurship Foundation For Graduates) ShuiOn KIC (Knowledge & Innovation Community) Media Partner:InnoBolt Guest Speaker:Professor Len Middleton from MIT   Time:  2nd July, 2010 (Friday)             18:30—21:30 Venue:  KIC Resource Center (2F, No.234, KIC Plaza, Songhu Rd., Yangpu District, Shanghai) Agenda:  18：30——19：00    Registration & Social 19：00——19：15    MC Speech，Introduction 19：15——21：15     Professor Len Middleton 21：15——21：30    Q&A, Free Talk More about Professor Len Middleton: Mr. Middleton serves as Professor of Strategy and Entrepreneurship at the Ross School of Business at the University of Michigan. Middleton has experience working with his own family business and has experience working with other family businesses around the world as an advisor.
