The Future of Ideas

W. Chan Kim, Professor of Strategy and International Management
The Boston Consulting Group Bruce D. Henderson Chaired Professor of International Management; Co-Director of the INSEAD Blue Ocean Strategy Institute

In increasing numbers of economic and industry sectors, supply exceeds demand. More and more people, whether managers of companies, heads of nonprofits, or leaders of governments, find themselves up against the red oceans of bloody competition. They want to get out of the red oceans and into the blue oceans of new growth opportunities. This opening lecture addresses this challenge and answers the following questions. How can you create and capture the blue oceans of future growth opportunities? How can you renew them to sustain growth? What can governments, business leaders, and schools like INSEAD do to unlock profitable future growth frontiers where everybody wins?

Google’s mission is to organize the world‘s information and make it universally accessible and useful. Since our founding in 1998, Google has grown by leaps and bounds. From offering search in a single language we now offer dozens of products and services—including various forms of advertising and web applications for all kinds of tasks—in scores of languages. And starting from two computer science students in a university dorm room, we now have thousands of employees and offices around the world. A lot has changed since the first Google search engine appeared. But some things haven’t changed: our dedication to our users and our belief in the possibilities of the Internet itself.

About the tour 10am-11:30am:

Google invites you to visit our newest campus, located at Mapletree Business City in Singapore.  Your tour guides will be INSEAD alums involved in growing a variety of Google businesses in the region, and you will have the opportunity to hear from a Google exec about our growth in Asia.
