Session 1 |
| |
Managing knowledge in business |
| |
The international expansion of a business or the transformation from state-owned to private enterprises changes the internal structures and hierarchies of companies. How do we best organize to learn and to share knowledge to ensure the success of these processes? In Asia’s emerging economies, how can companies gain access to the resources of local partners and research institutes while keeping in mind intellectual property issues? |

| Creativity and innovative thinking |
| Businesses have to compete in an environment that is changing faster than ever. In order to keep pace, both managers and employees need to adapt to permanent changes, generate new ideas and creatively apply their knowledge. How do we cope with this challenge in Europe and in Asia? Do we learn the right things and do we learn them the right way? What impact does culture have on how we evaluate knowledge? |

| Sharing Knowledge for a Sustainable Development |
| High growth rates characterise the economic situation in many Asian countries. To safeguard their competitiveness and to manage the environmental impact of rapid growth, policy-makers have begun to aim for sustainable development. In which fields could European and Asian businesses meaningfully cooperate in the future? How can we effect the shift from brain drain to brain circulation? What are the specific challenges of doing business in these emerging economies? |
