    Please join us for this year's Foundational Scholar Interview with Professor Yves Doz!

    We are honored to have Professor Yves Doz join us for this year's Foundational Scholar Interview panel session at the SMS. The Foundational Scholar Interview is a long-standing tradition of the Knowledge and Innovation (K&I) Interest Group at the SMS. This year, we are delighted to feature Professor Doz. The session will feature a 50-minute interview, followed by a Q&A session. If time permits, we will also engage in a debate-style discussion between the audience and Professor Doz on current hot topics in the field of multinational enterprises (MNEs). 

    About Professor Yves Doz

    Prof. Yves Doz, Emeritus Professor of Strategic Management at INSEAD, is one of the foundational scholars in the field of multinational enterprises. He began his working life in a corporate context, working on international helicopter development programs, before moving into academia, first at HEC, then Harvard Business School, and finally joining the faculty of INSEAD in 1980. 

    The "red thread" in his research, teaching and consulting work over the decades, is a concern with helping companies reach good strategic decisions when facing contradictory demands. Professor Doz has been at the forefront of conceptualizing and proposing a number of widely adopted management practices over the years, from his early work on reconciling global integration and local responsiveness in multinational companies with CK Prahalad to his conceptualization of the enablers of Strategic Agility. 

    Throughout his career, Professor Doz has endeavored to act as a valuable bridge between management practice and academic research. He has advised the top management of many companies and has taught programs at business schools around the world. At INSEAD, he created and, for many years, directed a senior executive seminar on strategic alliances and has taught numerous company-specific programs. 

    Session details

    The session 340 will take place on Sunday, October 20th, at 9:30am in MR25A. 

    Kate NIU, a PhD candidate in Strategy at INSEAD, will conduct the interview.
