2018 Annual Conference
Cutting the Curves - Transforming Businesses to Stay Ahead
1st November 2018
Introduction
With the rapid developments of information and communication technology, the new economy is redefining the way
we live, work and play like no other. Digital technology has undoubtedly made businesses faster and production
more cost-efficient. Companies and countries are becoming more economically dependent upon each other. As changes
are sweeping across the globe, businesses must adopt innovative ideas and behave differently to stay afloat in
the new and highly competitive economy. How can companies transform their business? How to make change happen?
How to develop and sustain entrepreneurial spirit? How to attract and nurture talents?
To shed light on the questions, The Hong Kong Management Association 2018 Annual Conference brings
together a prestigious line-up of speakers to provide a forum for senior executives to explore effective
strategies towards businesses transformation, thereby thriving in the new economy. Through this engagement,
participants will be inspired by new ideas and directions in transforming and sustaining their organisations.
