APPRECIATION FROM DEAN DIPAK C. JAIN 

It is a great pleasure to welcome 

you to the Kellogg School and to 

the Kellogg Innovation Network’s 

Global Summit 2009. It is events 

like KIN Global that help us all 

continue to move from success 

to significance.

At Kellogg, we seek to educate leaders who are prepared to navigate 

in a complex world, building organizations that act responsibly on behalf 

of all stakeholders and thrive in both the near and long terms. 

As our world gets smaller and old assumptions fray, we realize how 

interconnected we are and how increasingly urgent challenges demand 

our attention, innovation and collaboration. Your commitment to Kellogg 

by joining us for these days opens our minds and helps us focus our 

global community’s attention on objectives of meaning. 

We hope you will find what many others have — that Kellogg offers 

a powerful platform for collaboration, an independent space where the 

best ideas can be created, vetted and shared. 

As the Kellogg School enters its second century, you will help us 

define the next 100 years of management education, research and 

outreach. Many thanks again for your commitment and support.

WELCOME FROM ROBERT C. WOLCOTT 

Welcome to the Kellogg School 

of Management, and welcome to 

KIN Global. 

The next few days will be transformative. Collectively, our delegates 

hail from over 20 countries and represent each of the world’s six inhabited 

continents. You’re joining a group of visionaries, changemakers, iconoclasts, 

futurists, philosophers, innovators, builders and most importantly, 

people who are actively changing the world. 

We are here to create with one another, share insights and envision 

new paradigms with which to build a world of which we can all be proud. 

We will be exploring themes such as the role of global corporations in 

supporting economic, environmental and community vitality, how we can 

8

enhance the innovative capability of our companies and societies, the 

supply and our demand for natural resources, and how the public and 

private sectors can most effectively partner. These topics aim at the heart 

of some of the world’s most poignant challenges. 

I’ve promised this would not be a typical conference. Nearly half our 

program will be defined by you, our KIN Global Delegates, during the 

summit. We’ll do everything we can to ensure you maximize the value you 

achieve, but ultimately, this is up to you. You’ll find the more you engage, 

the more you offer others, the more you receive in return. 

We are the people we’ve been waiting for. On behalf of the students, 

faculty, staff and alumni of the Kellogg School, many thanks for your time 

and substantial energy. I wish you inspiration and many actionable insights. 

To the future, 

Robert C. Wolcott 

Founder & Executive Director

KIN GLOBAL GUIDE 

Though this is our first KIN Global Summit, we’ve been hosting KIN 

events at Kellogg and our partner companies’ locations for nearly 

six years. We are blessed with many KIN Global delegates who have 

attended past KIN events. Whether you are a seasoned KINovator, 

or brand new, please review our KIN Global modus operandi: 

Introduce Yourself 

If there is someone you don’t know, introduce yourself. To take a cue from 

Renaissance Weekend founders Phil and Linda Lader—everyone at KIN 

Global has a story to tell. Take advantage of that fact to make new friends, 

build your network, and create partnerships for the Summit and beyond. 

It all starts with an introduction. 

Be Present 

You are entering a whirlwind of inspiring, challenging, demanding and 

courageous ideas. Clear your schedules as best you can. We are all busy 

and will ALWAYS have urgent items demanding our attention, but we too 

infrequently take opportunities to venture outside our typical boundaries. 

That’s the point of KIN Global. If you bring your boundaries with you, you’ll 

fail to recognize the horizons. Challenge yourself to leave your Blackberries, 

iPhones and cell phones at the door. 

10

Throw it Out There 

If you have a great idea, speak up. If you have a creative, eureka moment, share 

those too. This is a place to invent and explore. Humanity faces mammoth 

challenges that require even bigger solutions. 

Mix it Up 

At meal times, sit beside someone whom you do not know. A casual environment 

is a great place to share in-depth conversations. Often the most value occurs 

during unstructured times, so we’ve ensured you’ll have plenty of opportunities 

to tackle new challenges and meet new people. Take advantage. 

Keep It Real 

Respect others’ ideas, go deep and don’t be afraid to discuss the whole story. 

Sometimes what doesn’t work is just as informative as what does. 

Everyone’s a Facilitator 

Share your story, but encourage others to do the same. Help us all avoid 

rambling, and make sure to ask questions as much or more than providing 

answers. We’ll all be better for it.

Commander

and requesting forces from NATO countries for wartime needs and peacetime joint training 

exercises. The alliance includes 42 member countries and 22 partner countries. 

Formerly Admiral Stavridis headed the United States Southern Command. A Surface 

Warfare Officer, Admiral Stavridis commanded Destroyer Squadron 21 and deployed to the

Scott Stern 

Associate Professor of Management & Strategy 


Professor Stern is an Associate Professor of Management and 

Strategy at the Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern 

University. Stern is the co-organizer of the NBER Innovation Policy 

and the Economy Working Group and a Senior Fellow of the Searle 

Center on Law, Regulation and Economic Growth. He is an Associate 

Editor of Management Science, the Journal of Industrial Economics, the International 

Journal of Industrial Organization, serves on the Board of Management of the International 

Schumpeter Society, and has served on the editorial boards of the Antitrust Law Journal and 

the Journal of Business and Economics Statistics. In 2005, Stern was awarded the first 

Ewing Marion Kauffman Prize Medal for Distinguished Research in Entrepreneurship. 

Stern explores how innovation — the production and distribution of “ideas” — differs from 

more traditional economic goods, and the implications of these differences for business and 

public policy. Often focusing on life sciences industries, this research is at the intersection 

between industrial organization and the economics of technical change. Recent studies 

examine the determinants of R&D productivity, the role of incentives and organizational 

design on the process of innovation, and the drivers of commercialization strategy for 

technology entrepreneurs. 

Professor Stern graduated with a BA degree in Economics from New York University, and 

received his PhD in Economics from Stanford University in 1996. From 1995-2001, Stern was 

Assistant Professor of Management at the Sloan School at MIT, and, from 2001-2003, Stern

KIN GLOBAL SCHOLARS 

Applying collaborative research 

to real-world application, Kellogg 

students have been working for the 

past quarter with faculty guidance 

to discover solutions to complex 

issues. The students have been 

collaborating with many of our KIN 

Global delegates on the following 

five research projects.


1. Cradle-to-Cradle: A New 

Approach for Marketing Green 

Products to the Mass Consumer 

Companies have generally treated green 

products as a small but profitable niche 

component of their overall marketing 

strategy, choosing to skim profits from 

consumers led to believe that sustainability 

and price are directly proportional. 

Yet as individuals become increasingly 

informed about environmental challenges, 

firms will find that consumer and 

regulatory pressures compel them to 

adapt their marketing strategies to the 

mass market to survive — a market with 

significantly different needs, tastes, and 

preferences. This research topic explores 

three fundamental marketing questions 

that need to be reconsidered in light of 

the unique circumstances surrounding 

the current state of green products, as 

well as how a cradle-to-cradle approach 

can be used to realistically address 

the challenges that companies face in 

implementing their answers.

2. The Role of the Military 

in Building Global Prosperity 

The Role of the Military in Building Global 

Prosperity explores unconventional ways 

in which the U.S. military can influence 

global prosperity. It demonstrates the 

intimate connection between security 

and economic growth, and develops 

a strategic framework for cross-sector 

partnerships. The study illustrates a 

process for analyzing comprehensive 

development solutions for low income 

populations in Bogota, Colombia, as an 

example of a process that can be applied 

in other geographies and contexts.

3. Unleashing the Potential of 

the Millennial Generation 

As a new generation of highly skilled 

knowledge workers enters the workforce, 

managers are increasingly challenged 

by how to relate to and incent the 

millennials. Our research discusses 

this group’s unique characteristics and 

strengths, and then analyzes how to 

attract, retain, and inspire millennials 

who have the potential to be the most 

productive and innovative generation 

to ever enter the workforce.

4. From Consumer to Producer: 

Next Generation Value Creation 

at the Base of the Pyramid 

Businesses targeting the BOP have 

historically viewed people as consumers 

with burgeoning aggregate buying power. 

Popular media, such as CK Prahalad’s 

Fortune at the Bottom of the Pyramid, 

have encouraged the perspective that 

the BOP wields significant business 

opportunity. Meanwhile, economic 

development at the BOP has long taken 

the form of philanthropy, and, in recent 

decades, has begun to transform with 

the popularization of microfinance and 

microenterprise initiatives. As global 

consciousness moves away from the 

traditional aid model towards enterprise 

solutions to poverty, businesses should 

consider the BOP not only as powerwielding 

consumers, but also as 

wealth-creating producers.

5. Prevention and Partnerships: 

What is the Right Mix for the 

Next Generation of Health and 

Wellness? 

As scarce resources are poured into the 

treatment of devastating, preventable 

diseases throughout the world, we 

cannot help but wonder if there is 

opportunity to shift focus from 

treatment to prevention. Given that 

partnerships have worked well in the 

treatment space, this research topic 

seeks to better define the importance of 

partnerships in prevention and explore 

how it can be used to shift the focus of 

the healthcare system from treatment 

to prevention. Focus will be given to 

discussing what partnership models are 

most effective and understanding the 

trade-offs that are made between 

prevention and treatment and how 

this influences various stakeholder 

incentives and goals.

GREEN INITIATIVES 

At Kellogg, we believe in incorporating 

sustainable practices into the way we 

operate. Some of the choices we’ve made 

save money, some are more healthy for 

our guests and employees and some 

help foster a cleaner environment for all. 

We purchase printer paper with 

recycled content. 

We offer recycling bins: Black for 

bottles and can. Blue for paper. 

Our first choice is PDFs. When we 

need to print, two-sided printing 

is standard. 

We prefer to use china throughout the 

building. Bus tubs are available on 

each floor. 

Energy: 

– 20% of the Northwestern University 

Evanston campus energy usage is 

purchased from renewable sources. 

– Timers have been installed on lights. 

If you are interested in offsetting your 

flights or would like to let us know more 

ways to make a difference, email Suzanne 

at: s-thoren@kellogg.northwestern.edu 

Our custodians use eco-friendly 

cleaning and laundry supplies. 

We prefer to use water pitchers 

instead of water bottles. 

Low VOC paints are used on our walls.
