1+1 Lecture New York City: Opportunities Created by the Digital Environment in China
We cordially invite you to attend our exclusive 1+1 Lecture Opportunities Created by the Digital Environment in New York City on August 11, 2019.
About the lecture
The new oil that may drive economies and growth in the future is data – particularly digital data. Companies like Baidu, Alibaba, and Tencent (collectively referred to as ‘BAT’) are already using their access to data to launch different, previously unexplored business opportunities. As China enters a new stage as a developing nation, there are numerous opportunities for many other firms to innovate, create, and capture value in China’s large digital environment, which will have implications for the rest of the world. In this lecture, we explore how organizations in China have responded to the current digital environment and consider how existing business models have evolved to manage the challenges of potentially disruptive innovation from the digital environment. We then examine how organizations have responded by creating new structures and new people processes in preparing to take full advantage of potential opportunities in the digital space.

What is 1+1?
CEIBS launched the 1+1 Project, a series of lectures hosted by leading faculty across continents, in 2017. The audience for these invitation-only lectures is comprised of our alumni and friends of CEIBS. Each participant is encouraged to bring with them a ‘plus one’ who is also a qualified prospect for our MBA or Global EMBA programs.
The core objectives of the 1+1 lecture series are to further strengthen engagement with our international alumni and provide attendees with the opportunity to play their part in helping to shape the future student bodies at CEIBS.
