Mauritius to Host Summit Meeting on Leadership in Emerging Markets


“Leadership in a Globalised World: Nurturing New Partners’ is the leading theme of a one-day summit meeting which will be held on 30 May 2012 at Grand Baie Conference Centre. This meeting is a joint initiative of the All India Management Association (AIMA) and the Board of Investment, Enterprise Mauritius, Mauritius Chamber of Commerce and Industry and the Indian High Commission.

The opening ceremony will be performed by the Vice Prime Minister and Minister of Finance and Economic Development, Mr Xavier-Luc Duval, GCSK, in the presence of the Minister of Industry, Commerce and Consumer Protection, Mr Cader Sayed-Hossen, and the Indian Minister of State for Communications and IT, Mr Sachin Pilot.

The summit forms part of the continuing Global Business Leaders Series – a unique programme to link businesses in emerging markets. This meeting, which is the first of its kind with a focus on building through leadership in emerging markets, will bring together business leaders and policy makers from across Asia and Africa to discuss the new competitive challenges, financial and social issues in the current times of uncertainty. It will be an ideal opportunity for big and small business to get involved and look at the emerging trends in the ensuing future.

Discussions will centre on how management innovations have influenced companies and the navigational challenges that leaders will be faced with in the near future. With the waning of the developed markets, emerging markets are the flavor of the decade and now represent the reshaped global economic map. These economies are throwing up new dynamics of management and will be drivers of future economic growth, but they will also throw up complex challenges.

Several themes will be discussed, namely: Reinventing strategies for emerging markets: Building competitive advantage through global partnerships, Igniting innovation, and Skills and Talent Management- Investing for Growth. Participants will also have the opportunity to hear eminent global business leaders discuss the challenges of our times.

Some of the speakers include, Mr Gautam Thapar, chairperson of The Avantha Group India; Mr Claude Ibalanky, Chief Executive Officer, Bantu Investments,  Democratic Republic of Congo; Mr Sunil Kant Munjal, chairperson, Hero Corporate Services India; Mr Shivinder Singh, Managing Director Fortis Healthcare India; Mr Chris Parsons, Senior Partner Herbert Smith UK; Ms Liliane Masala, Advisor for International Affairs to the President of the Republic of Gabon;  Mr Jean-Pierre Dalais, Chief Executive Officer, CIEL Capital, Mauritius; and Mr Philip Erzinger, Chief Executive Officer, St Gallen Foundation for International Studies Switzerland.
