SMG Business Seminar

Innovation Strategies of Global Companies

Thursday, October 18, 2007 - 08:30 to 10:15

How do global companies develop innovation strategies? Is corporate entrepreneurship viable in huge multinational organizations?

Procter & Gamble is huge and multinational, but at the same time it also has the reputation of being one of the most innovative and successful corporations in today’s global competition. An important contributor to P&G’s innovative orientation is the implementation of an ”invention to innovation” approach – developed by Associate Director in P&G’s Global Innovation unit, Sammy A. Haroon.

In this business seminar Haroon will share with us his visions as to how the innovative spirit of the little niche firm can be transplanted to large and bureaucratic (?) multinational corporations. Besides being an experienced, hands-on entrepreneur in both small start-up firms and large, global corporations, Sammy Haroon is a dedicated and passionate speaker who is able to communicate with audiences of many nationalities.
