Preparing for the “Hidden Champions” conference
I will be attending a leading-edge conference “Hidden Champions in CEE and Dynamically Changing Environments”, taking place in Vienna on 17-18 November 2011. It is an international conference revelaing success lessons from 100 so-far hidden, innovative market leaders from Central and Eastern Europe, Commonwealth of Independent States, and Turkey. The conference is organized by CEEMAN and IEDC Bled School of Management.
As a IEDC professor for Management of Innovation and Technology, I will be chairing a panel on Leverages of Innovation where I will steer the discussion with four esteemed panelists from Serbia (EXECOM), Hungary (CASON Engineering), Ukraine (Ukraininan Beer Company) and Kazakhstan (Tulpar) into uncovering a few key managerial issues, challenges, and behavioral characteristics of HC companies.
As a Member of the Board of BISOL Group, which is considered as one of the Hidden Champions, I will be also attending the panel on “Cooperation, coopetition and strategic alliances for success”.
