V19.00001: General Motors' R\&D: Managing Innovation Globally Invited Speaker: The rapid pace of technology development and the globalization of the automobile industry are major forces driving General Motors to devise new ways to innovate faster and more efficiently. In response, GM has developed a global R\&D network that has transformed GM's research and development organization from a U.S.-based enterprise to one that is over 30 percent leveraged with collaboration in 16 countries. This talk will focus on the challenges faced as well as the lessons learned and best practices developed in building this network. [Preview Abstract] |

V19.00002: Not only Texas is flat... Invited Speaker: The internet communication infrastructure has been one of the main factors creating a ``flat'' world, a level playing field for innovation and the value of intellectual contributions. Furthermore, it has enabled a 24x7 frame of mind for development as well as manufacturing. Today it is therefore no longer optional but in fact a necessity to leverage skills and resources around the world, from research through production. [Preview Abstract] |
Thursday, March 16, 2006 12:27PM - 1:03PM |
V19.00003: Micron R\&D: Global Scope and Nano-Scale in N-Dimensions Invited Speaker: The Globalization of world markets and the globally dispersed manufacturing that supports them, drives complexity in managing today's leading edge R\&D organizations beyond that historically experienced. The dimensions involve not only location, but time, economics, government relations, complex supply and customer chains, and Intellectual Property strategy. Each must be contemplated and optimized in light of the nature of worldwide 24 hour a day competition. [Preview Abstract] |
Thursday, March 16, 2006 1:03PM - 1:39PM |
V19.00004: Leap Ahead: Global R\&D at Intel Invited Speaker: Intel does research, development, and manufacturing for our products across the globe for a worldwide market. Get a glimpse into Intel's latest global R\&D efforts driving future processor and platform architecture innovations; how these innovations could address existing user needs and enable new possibilities for emerging markets; and the challenges to managing an international research organization. [Preview Abstract] |

V19.00005: Sustaining Breakthrough Research in a Changing Global Environment Invited Speaker: As companies face ever-increasing economic and competitive pressures, the imperative to deliver real, sustained growth through innovation is clear. Corporations need to develop and maintain a research and development portfolio that recognizes this reality. This talk examines how General Electric's Global Research Center is implementing a technology portfolio that balances long- and shorter-term R&D across four global facilities. Examples from medical imaging and energy business segments will be used to illustrate strategies for delivering growth through sustained investment in technology. [Preview Abstract] |
