Since then, we have steadily increased our alumni population and presence in this part of the world. In 2006, we had 233 China-based alumni, in 2007, 308; in 2008, 355; and today we have 428. We aspire to reach 1,000 alumni located in China and contributing to business there within the next ten years. To help us reach this target, a Steering Committee consisting of alumni, faculty and staff, has been recently formed to coordinate INSEAD's activities in China. Find out more.
INSEAD Leadership Summit Europe 2009 On 3 April more than 250 global leaders from business, government and academia gathered on INSEAD's Europe campus for our flagship event, the INSEAD Leadership Summit Europe 2009, which this year focused on the theme 'Redesigning the Rule Book'. As leaders face new challenges brought about by the current economic crisis and the ever-changing global marketplace, they find themselves armed only with the old rules of business which no longer apply. The INSEAD Leadership Summit Europe 2009 gave them the opportunity to discover new thoughtleadership to face these difficult times and learn from each other how organisations can operate better in evolving economic environments. Hosted by Dean Frank Brown , more than 20 expert presenters, including INSEAD faculty members, explored the tools and innovations leaders will need to emerge from the financial crisis and achieve sustainable growth. The main plenary session focused on several critical issues, including the effect of the new political landscape on organisations, the role that emerging economies will play in the global business marketplace, and the implications of the financial crisis. Horst Teltschik, International Consultant and former National Security Advisor to Chancellor Helmut Kohl, explored the impact of Russia and China on other countries, and how the US may need to increasingly rely on Europe as a partner. Watch the video. In the following session, Ilian Mihov, Professor of Economics at INSEAD, presented a macroeconomic view of the financial crisis. By looking at today's economic scenario in a historical context, Mihov was able to draw important parallels to the length and depth of the current crisis. Watch the video. A debate was then held about the term 'shareholder value' to explore whether it still has relevance in today's business environment. Panellists, including Urs Peyer, INSEAD Associate Professor of Finance and Sir Andrew Large MBA'70, former Deputy Governor of the Bank of England, discussed the importance of leadership and understanding of how public policy is made in order to regain trust in the financial system and bridge the gap between shareholder and stakeholder value. Watch the video. After a networking lunch, Anil Gaba, INSEAD Professor of Decision Sciences, Spyros Makradakis, INSEAD Emeritus Professor of Decision Sciences and Robin Hogarth MBA'68, Research Professor at Universitat Pompeu Fabra, Spain, presented 'Giving up the illusions of control'. Based on their new book, 'Dance with Chance, making luck work for you', they presented their research about how people in general, underestimate the role of chance and hence, fall prey to the 'illusion of control'. Watch the video . Business leadership in a time of responsibility was also a key discussion point. Along with a group of senior executives, Subramanian Rangan , Professor of Strategy and Management at INSEAD and Nik Gowing of BBC World News focused on the essence of effective and inspiring leadership during a time of crisis. Moderated by Gowing, the panellists discussed how businesses can manage tensions of being selfcentric versus society-centric, local versus global and longterm versus short-term. The panel was in June 2009 L to R: Dean Frank Brown; Horst Teltschik, International Consultant and former National Security Advisor to Chancellor Helmut Kohl Ilian Mihov, INSEAD Professor of Economics L to R: Urs Peyer, INSEAD Associate Professor of Finance; Sir Andrew Large MBA'70, former Deputy Governor, Bank of England; Daniel Labrecque MBA'81, President & CEO, N M Rothschild & Sons Canada & President of the INSEAD Alumni Association (IAA); Christopher Fawcett MBA'80, CEO, Fauchier Partners
