Save the Date: Friday, May 21: Marketing Issues Forum
Marketing NOW: New Priorities, New Opportunities, New RESULTS |
|
For marketers, change provides opportunity -- opportunity to seek out unmet needs and develop innovative solutions. The current upheaval in the economic and political environment, scarcity of capital, and rising unemployment are just a few of the formidable challenges that businesses face today. Yet many businesses succeed and grow. The Fourth Annual Marketing Issues Forum focuses on how successful businesses and organizations have remained healthy, developed new products or new business models, and created new employment opportunities.
Business professionals, students, faculty and others are invited to attend this forum from 8:15 a.m. to 2 p.m., Friday, May 21, in the second floor Banquet Rooms of Oakland University's Oakland Center.
By sharing how they have identified emerging opportunities, the speakers will offer attendees insights into what they can do within their own organizations to move more positively into the future.
Speakers include:
- Gerard Grinsven, president and CEO, Henry Ford Hospital, West Bloomfield
- Linda Theisen, vice president, global purchasing, North American sales and quality, Metaldyne Corporation
- Robert Thomas, director of operations, Michigan Chamber of Commerce
- Representatives from Oakland University School of Business Administration CIBRE Tool & Die Work Group
- L. Brooks Patterson, county executive, Oakland County, as the luncheon speaker.
The Marketing faculty and Marketing Advisory Board of the School of Business Administration have brought together a group of speakers from an array of industries to share successful coping methods with today's economic turbulence.
