"Charles-Edouard Bouée's argument that lightness is a primary value in a more volatile and uncertain business world is pervasive and well made."
– John Quelch, Harvard Business School, USA
"The picture Charles-Edouard Bouée paints of tomorrow's business world, and of the kinds of organization most likely to thrive in it, is both original and plausible."
– Sir Tom Hunter, CEO, West Coast Capital, United Kingdom
On November 19th, 2013, the European Chamber is delighted to invite you to join Charles-Edouard Bouée, Global COO of Roland Berger Strategy Consultants & President of Roland Berger Asia and the author of the bookLight Footprint Management: Leadership in times of change to discuss how a Light Footprint strategy can lead to powerful business gains in a “Volatile, Uncertain, Complex, and Ambiguous” (VUCA) world.
About the book:
Economic growth in China has slowed, pushing the business environment into a new stage that is more volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous (VUCA).
Light Footprint Management examines the game-changing firms, leaders, and ideas that are riding these volatile dynamics into a new era of prosperity using methodologies derived from American military doctrine and Chinese management techniques.
- What exactly makes conventional management theories unfit for today's world?
- What insights can business leaders gain from contemporary military discussions about special forces, drone strikes, and cyber warfare? What can they learn from China's successful light footprint entrepreneurs such as Alibaba's Jack Ma and Feng Jun of Huaqi Information Digital Technology (Aigo)?
- What does it take to build and manage a light footprint organization?
