"Succeeding in a Hyper-Competitive Global Economy-Preparing for Competition from Down the Street and Across the World" 

The Saint Joseph's University Initiative for Family Business and Entrepreneurship Program invites you to attend the Breakfast Workshop, Succeeding in a Hyper-Competitive Global Economy-Preparing for Competition from Down the Street and Across the World. 

The reality for all businesses, large and small, manufactures and service providers, is that the impact of global trends will present great risks and potential rewards for family firms of all sizes. Ignoring this risk will not make it go away.

 Join us on March 19th, 2014 as we learn from local business leaders who are competing internationally - and using their “Familiness Advantage” to do so. Key points of discussion include:

• Why you need to focus on global issues... now!
• How key trends in globalization can impact the supply side and demand side of your business.
• How to analyze the impact of globalization on your supply chain and customer value proposition.
• How local business leaders are using their “Familiness” as an advantage as they compete across the globe.
• Assessing your business model and your exposure the globalization risks.

 Our panelists will be: Michael Cardone III, of Cardone Industries, Inc.  and Robert Healey, Executive Co-Chairman at the Viking Group.
