2012 EFMD Case Writing Competition

In 2012 EFMD is once again a strategic partner of the Global Peter Drucker Forum. The 4th Forum will take place in Vienna from November 15 to November 16 2012.

Leaders from Business, Academia and the non-profit Sector will discuss the future of Capitalism which is a theme essential to the future of our society. A changing capitalism must be powered by evolving management practices with an increased recognition of the importance of good and effective management practice, not just within a single organisation but for all society, which will lead to a new synergy between public, semi-public and the private sectors in the field of management, innovation and entrepreneurship.

Martin, John Quelch, Adrian Wooldridge, Tammy Erickson, Umair Haque, Patrick de Cambourg (President Mazars), Vicki Escarra (President Feeding America), Peter Solmssen (Management Board Siemens) and Kathleen Mazzarella (CEO and President Graybar Corporations).

Under the theme Capitalism 2.0  New Horizons for Managers key questions will be addressed such as
Impact of Shareholder Value
Signposts for the next Capitalism
The Role of the Social Sector
