The talk will be chaired by Mr Donald Low, Associate Dean (Executive Education and Research) & Senior Fellow, Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy. Synopsis: We are taught from childhood that life is one long contest: if you aren't top of your class or your year, you won't win the game of life. A competitive ethos characterises everything we do: business, medicine, sport, science, entertainment. But what are the costs of this perpetual contest? Does it really bring out the best in everyone? Are competitive markets always the most efficient? Is there a more productive way that we could all work together - and if so, what does it require?

8. Saturday, 05 Apr, 2014 07:30pm - 08:30pm - Cornell Thought Leaders: Obama and the world in historical perspective featuring 2013 Pulitzer Prize winner Fred Logevall
As a world power, the United States retains unmatched reservoirs of strength, and no other nation seems likely to replace it at the pinnacle of the world heap any time soon. Yet it's also true that the US is in relative decline and that it faces hard choices in several areas abroad, not least in Asia. How should we judge Barack Obama¹s foreign policy as he approaches the midpoint of his second term? And how does he compare to his predecessors in his approach to the world and to Asia? In this lecture, Pulitzer Prize-winning historian Fredrik Logevall places Obama¹s foreign policy in historical context, with particular attention to the enduring legacy of the Wilsonian call to make the world "safe for democracy."
Venue: Fullerton Hotel, Straits Room
Cost: Usd$35 early bird rate!

10. Wednesday, 09 Apr, 2014 07:00pm - 09:00pm - 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.
