You are invited to an evening conference and networking cocktail featuring INSEAD professor of Strategy, Laurence Capron, co-author of Build, Borrow, or Buy: Solving the Growth Dilemma (Harvard Business Review Press), an award-winning book that examines how companies can select and balance different modes of growth: organic growth (build), licensing and alliances (borrow) and M&A (buy) to outperform.
The event will focus on healthcare companies. Laurence Capron’s research suggests that the pharmaceutical industry is pretty well-balanced in terms of its ability to mix and match different modes of growth, and this bodes well for its future. Companies that can mix the modes of growth, combining internal development, innovation acquisitions, alliance-building, and licensing have a significantly greater five-year survival rate than those that use only one of these approaches.
Come and learn more about Professor Capron’s research and hear from a panel of healthcare industry professionals reveal the challenges and lessons learned in executing these different modes of growth.[warning] A nice feature of this particular INSEAD Alumni Association event is that we are offering all attendees a complimentary copy of Capron’s book, which received the 2013 Best International Book Awards, granted by USA Book News in 2013.

The event is organized by Ludovic Choppin (MBA’12D).
