The Sloan Class of 2015 welcomes you to the 2016 Sloan Summit. The vision for the Summit started in 2014 to realise the potential of the strong bond that exists between Sloans. Sloans are united in a lifelong desire to learn, to understand new ideas and to share knowledge. What makes us unique is that each one of us decided that we wanted something more than the success we had already achieved and put our careers on hold to add to our skills, capabilities and networks. Today is an opportunity for the Sloan community to continue that quest with a day of insights, networking and discussion, and to contribute to building a stronger and better connected network. Today is more than a reunion. The Summit is an opportunity to create a powerful platform to continue the journey which each of us embarked upon. This is the first time Sloans from the three business schools have come together. There will be stimulating debate and new relationships will be established. This is an opportunity to develop and strengthen the Sloan brand so that it represents much more than a 12-month programme of study, and to use the Summit to create a community of leaders who learn, share knowledge, challenge and support each other. In so doing, the strength of the community will enhance the recognition and reputation of the Sloan brand, for the benefit of all of us. The theme for this year’s Summit is ‘the new norm’. With the business landscape and thinking evolving constantly, it is time to debate what this new norm might be. We are excited to have such a fantastic line-up of speakers joining us to share their insights. Enjoy the Summit!

  • Dean, MIT Sloan School of Management
    Dean, MIT Sloan School of Management Academic year 2004 was marked by curriculum and program changes that attest to our continued commitment to innovation. In addition, this year marked a large step forward in the assessment of the MIT Sloan brand and the creation of tools to evaluate and strengthen that brand across the global business community. As competition for the best students continues to grow, our investment in showing the world that we are the leader in innovative management theory and practice (our legacy of mens et manus) continues to be critical. Academic Program Updates MBA Program. The new MBA curriculum, launched in fall 2003, met with great success. While we retained the academic rigor, focus on teamwork, and some core courses, the new curriculum streamlines the core requirements, increases flexibility (so that students can design their program to suit their personal interests and needs), provides an integrated, cross‐functional perspective early in the program, and gives students access to cutting‐edge faculty research early and often throughout their time on campus. We are also pleased to announce that the MIT Sloan MBA Program had the highest or second‐highest student employment rate among top business schools for the third year in a row. MIT Sloan Fellows Program in Innovation and Global Leadership. With the strategic integration of the MIT Sloan Fellows Program and the MIT Management of Technology Program, the MIT Sloan Fellows Program in Innovation and Global Leadership was launched in June 2004, with a strong and diverse class that reflects the strengths of both parent programs.

  • Dean, MIT Sloan School of Management
    Dean, MIT Sloan School of Management In academic year 2007–2008, Sloan continued to make great progress with existing initiatives and moved forward in some key new areas. Global initiatives were high on the list in FY2008, including the launch of the China Leaders for Manufacturing Program (CLFM). Responding to the real need for manufacturing leadership in China, this program, modeled after MIT’s Leaders for Manufacturing Program (LFM) and created with MIT’s authorization and educational support, is the country’s first-ever dual-degree graduate program focused on educating China’s next generation of manufacturing and operations leaders. The first CLFM class matriculated in September 2007, with the second cohort matriculating in September 2008. Representing MIT at the opening ceremony for the first class erew Institute Professor Tom Magnanti (representing the School of Engineering), deputy dean of MIT Sloan School of Management Steve Eppinger, LFM codirectors Tom Allen and Warren Seering, and director of the LFM Fellows Program Don Rosenfield. The School also launched a reorganization of alumni leadership with a view toward strengthening our global presence, aided by the arrival of a new director of alumni relations in April 2008. To support twin strengths of the School, knowledge creation and program innovation, significant incremental Office of External Relations activity is in development for FY2009, with initial activity already begun in FY2008.

  • Our Industry
    Our Industry The spark General Motors in the 1920’s and Yoplait in the 1960’s. GENERAL MOTORS was a challenger to FORD in the USA in 1921 and had a 12% market share of the automobile industry. By 1927, led by H.P Sloane, GM had taken over the leadership with a 43% market share. YOPLAIT which originated from Normandy, France in 1964, with a capital share of 10.000 euros. 45 years later the company is worth 1.6 billion euros, has a turnover of 4.6 billion euros, and is the n°2 in the world in fresh dairy products. It has grown by a factor of 16 million times the initial capital. How have these remarkable successes been achieved? > By using the franchise model to organise their expansion plan. The first theoretician : Alfred P. Sloan Alfred Pritchard Sloan, Jr. was a long-time president, chairman, and CEO of General Motors Corporation. He lead GM from the 1920s through to the 1950s – imposing revolutionary working methods such as trademark strategy, regular car model change, industrial design and planned obsolescence coupled with the exponential development of retailers at the same speed as the development of highways in the US, all of which changed lifestyles in America and throughout the world. Sloan invented the franchise model within GM and became its first comprehensive theoretician. To such end, Sloan created the world’s first university based executive education program “the Sloan Fellows” which commenced in 1931 at MIT under his sponsorship. In 1952 a Sloan Foundation grant was established at the MIT School of Industrial Management with the responsibility to educate the “ideal manager”, and the school was renamed in Sloan’s honour as the Alfred P.

In the Information Technology (IT) industry, starting as a new company with a new offering or business model, climbing the upward growth trajectory of financial results, and later getting stuck in a flat or declining graph has been a common pattern for many companies. Many of them have failed to jump the financial S-curve, create and climb a new one. To address this, I have referred to seminal works, have gained insights from experts, have captured inputs from corporate leaders, have consulted academicians, and have discussed with fellow Sloan Fellows.
