Seminar Management of Innovation | Wednesday April 17, 2013 - 8h45 - 10h45

What has happened to his medium-sized company over the past twelve years ? How has he adapted the company to survive the economic crisis ? Can he reproduce his strategy of going up-market in the context of a competitiveness cluster dealing exclusively in industrial materials‚ of which he has been the president for the past year ? How does one convince SMEs which are scattered over a region to go up-market, and how does one help them do this ?
