CEIBS Global EMBA and the EU SME Centre invite you to attend an Executive Seminar on 29 November in Nanjing.

This exclusive lecture will look at the opportunities and challenges that new ventures face when operating on the international stage. Given their resource constraints, international new ventures face distinct challenges. Using inspiring case studies from small ventures, such as Centurion, Testin and InMobi, Dr Prashantham looks at how new ventures can succeed at internationalizing with a limited resource base. He examines how smaller companies can establish and exploit competitive advantage through network-based strategies that leverage opportunities created by the international dimension of their business.

In this real Executive MBA classroom experience, you will learn:

  • The value of small ventures to partner with ‘elephants’.
  • The difference between market-specific knowledge and market-neutral knowledge.
  • How new ventures can innovate to internationalise cost-effectively.
  • How firms lacking in resources can leverage international networks to compensate.
  • How to manage and balance international growth.
