March 25, 2010

On March 26, 2010, over 60 guests joined the NAF-Biz New York Committee and Dr. Mia de Kuijper as she shared highlights from her new book "Profit Power Economics: A New Competitive Strategy for Creating Sustainable Wealth".

EVENT SUMMARY

• Based on her experience with clients like Royal Dutch Shell, PepsiCo, Credit Suisse First Boston, Morgan Stanley, etc., Dr. De Kuijper discussed and led a Q & A session on the radical changes in corporate strategy resulting from The Transparent Economy and how this applies to both multinationals and micro companies in developing countries.
• Dr. De Kuijper talked about how the vanishing cost of information calls for a revamping of corporate strategy and traditional modes of business organization, whether you're a global market player or a Dutch exporter to the US.
• The audience learned how 21st century firms need to develop “power nodes” in order to reap sustainable profits and capitalize on “power laws” that dominate current and future markets.
• De Kuijper (Ph.D. economics, Harvard) is a consultant on business strategy and author of Profit Power Economics (2009, Oxford Univ Press), dean at the Duisenberg school of finance (Amsterdam) and NAF member.
• A presentation of interest to business professionals, investors and entrepreneurs alike.
