MSI Conference: Realizing Opportunities for Profitable Growth

05/12/10 – 05/13/10 Northwestern University Evanston, Illinois

Academics are encouraged to attend this Marketing Science Institute event.

Achieving profitable growth is a challenge for most organizations, especially in the current economic climate. Nevertheless, organizations are indeed growing, although not always in the conventional sense. Realizing potential opportunities for growth often requires gaining new insights into customers, employing technology in new ways to reach and communicate with customers, and breaking down internal organizational barriers. The focus of this conference will be on exploring these new avenues to organic growth.

The conference will be co-sponsored with the Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University and co-chaired by Professor Gregory Carpenter.
