In a "flat world", success is less about what the company can do itself and more about what it can connect to. Base on its very own "network orchestration" principles, Li & Fung has provided effective platforms that facilitate interactions with the partners within their value systems. During the luncheon event, Dr. Fung and Dr. Wind will reveal the secrets to running a successful organization. Key topics include:
* Compete "network vs. network" -- and win!
* Create a "big-small" company that combines scales and agility
* Forge loose-tight relationships with suppliers
* Balance control with empowerment, stability with renewal
* Manage the "bumps" in the flat world-from politics to terrorism
Dr. William Fung, has been Li & Fung Group Managing Director since 1986. He joined the Group in 1972 and became a Director of the Group's export trading business in 1976. Dr. Fung is also a non-executive director of HSBC Holdings PLC. An independent non-executive director of VTech Holdings Limited and Shui On Land Limited. He holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Engineering from Princeton University and a MBA from Harvard University.
