Tracing the trajectory of the structural changes in the post-Mao Chinese economy, what are some of the social consequences of economic and political reforms in China?

Venue: MND Auditorium

Prof. Logan has studied, written and taught extensively on the importance of spatial assimilation and the integration of minorities in American metropolitan and suburban neighbourhoods. His book Urban Fortunes is widely regarded as a classic in the field of urban sociology. His work also deals with China, focusing on social change in post-socialist China. Prof Logan was also an Urban Planner of the Santa Clara County Planning Department in San Jose, California; and is concurrently the Director of Research Initiative on Spatial Structures in the Social Sciences.

5. Wednesday, 12 Mar, 2014 07:00pm - Seminar: The Best versus the Rest in New Product Development by Dr. Anthony Di Benedetto
Most firms recognize the importance of new products to their competitiveness and their bottom line. But what is it that the best firms do, and what can managers from other firms learn about the best practices employed by these firms? Also, what have been the most recent trends in new product development (NPD), and how has this process changed in recent years? The most recent study coming from the industry states that less than 25% of companies surveyed have both NPD success and sales and profits generated by new products.
Venue: Venue: IEEC premises (75 Bukit Timah Road)
Cost: $20 for pre-registered guest; $30 at the door
RSVP: in...@ieec.edu.sg / http://www.temple.sg/event-registration
