Northampton Business School’s series of guest lectures continues with Tom Lloyd
Northampton Business School (NBS) at The University of Northampton is holding a series of FREE guest lectures.
Thursday 9 February sees Tom Lloyd speak from 6pm to 8pm about China’s Management Revolution
Tom Lloyd is a management writer and author. He is a former editor of Financial Weekly and Management Today, was founding editor of Gemini Consulting's quarterly management journal Transformation and wrote the 'Working Brief' column in The Sunday Telegraph for several years.
Tom has written five books, including Managing Knowhow, with Karl-Erik Sveiby (Bloomsbury 1987) and The 'Nice' Company (Bloomsbury 1990). He was also the co-author of the successful A Woman's Place is in the Boardroom and A Woman's Place is in the Boardroom: The Roadmap with Peninah Thomson and Jacey Graham (Palgrave 2005, 2008).
His intellectual curiosity leads him to spot key issues well before they become mainstream. Thus he brings an element of 'thought leadership' to NBS, where he has already given a guest lecture in 2010 on the topical issue of executive remuneration.
Tom's second guest lecture for NBS, entitled 'China's Management Revolution', will be based on a book Tom has ghost written for Charles-Edouard Bouée (President of Roland Berger Strategy Consultants, Asia) about an emerging Chinese management style set to challenge the current dominant Anglo-Saxon approach.
As one of the world's largest economies China is facing many unique management challenges in the wake of the financial crisis. The future presents many opportunities for growth and commerce but new management skills must be developed to cope with these issues. Tom argues that China’s entrepreneurs are developing a distinctive Chinese management style which fits the fast, unpredictable and volatile business world of today. The most surprising feature of this model is the minor role assigned to strategy. Providing an insight into this new approach, Tom Lloyd will discuss this new emerging Chinese model and whether it should be applied more widely in business to the benefit of all.
