One nice thing about online webinars and discussions is that they are providing us with access to many international speakers that otherwise would not have made it to Singapore.
|
The Interactive Discussion with HBS Prof. Karim Lakhani was very well-attended and the discussion was rich and interesting. Thank you for your presence and active participation which helped with the success of this event. For those who could not join us, please click here to access the full video recording of the session.

We continue to hope that we can provide interesting programmes despite all the limitations and boundaries; so if you have any suggestions or would like to spearhead/participate in an event, please just let the HUAAS board know.

Please stay healthy, in body and spirit,

Recessions hurt businesses, some critically. That is no surprise. Today's Covid-19 health crisis has brought the worst economic downturn since the Great Depression almost 100 years ago. Professor Ranjay Gulati's research finds, surprisingly, that about 10% of companies actually did better coming out of a recession. How did those leaders turn a recession to their advantage? Join Professor Gulati as he shares his research into how certain leaders were able to take advantage of a bad situation, prepare for the recovery, and emerge as market leaders.
