Risk Governance:The Evolution of Risk Practices for Senior Managers

During this session together, we will explore what lessons best-practice corporations are taking from the risks they are confronting. We will analyse the processes and abilities developed by the top players. We will look at the implications for senior leaders on executive and supervisory boards to master or manage the incredible diversity of risks and opportunities confronting businesses today.

While a senior manager does not need to be attuned to the complex details behind some of the techniques used, an overall awareness of the tools, processes and behaviours used by top players is essential. We will also contemplate the level of technology that is being brought into risk thinking, notably in some industries, and how increased sophistication could keep uninformed or uneducated senior managers themselves at risk!

Overall, the session will give an overview of the latest thinking in risk governance and of what senior managers should expect to see, whether on the corporation as a whole or on specific deals considered at senior manager level.

Optional Reading:Article: Crisis Risk Thinking, IMD, 2009, D. Cossin While reading the cases, you can think about the following questions for your preparation:

1. Was the economic crisis predictable?

2. What are the main internal causes driving the UBS crisis?

3. Amongst the decisions taken by Tony Hayward and Carl-Henric Svanberg, which ones seem particularly poor? Why? How much impact do they have on BP’s growth opportunities? On the industry overall? On other stakeholders?

4. What do you think led to this failure of decision making? What drives the ability to take the right decision in difficult times?

5. Can the oil industry and the banking industry regain trust? How?

Governance Successes and Failures:Lessons from Around the World

Boards are failing companies around the world. From the financial crisis to major disasters such as the BP Macondo field explosion or the Tepco nuclear disaster in Japan, boards are under stress. At the same time, the rise of economic, social and business complexity makes effective boards an even more competitive advantage to well-tuned, well-managed companies than in the past. Today’s CEO needs sparring partners to emulate the challenges he is confronting. And who else can do this but a strong, well-informed, well-connected board? We will look at examples of successes and failures around the world and analyse what makes some boards a liability while others a true competitive asset. We will use the brand new ICBC governance case to look at governance evolution in China and what it can inspire us with.

Innovating in the New World Order: From Classical to Frugal Innovation

From $2500 cars to $35 laptops, innovations that characterise the art of improvising effective solutions using limited resources have been the hallmark of many emerging economies. As many developed economies face economic downturn, MNCs from these economies need to look to emerging economies for ways to do more for less, while serving broader markets. Detailed examples of companies like Tata in India, Haier in China, and Cemex in Mexico illustrate the typical challenges for frugal innovations and how firms can overcome those challenges. In particular we will explore what are some of the unique features of innovation in emerging Asia that can disrupt the way business is conducted by firms everywhere and what can firms do to cope with missing or inadequate institutional infrastructure in Asia that make it difficult for them to grow.

Background Reading:Article: How GE is disrupting itself?

Questions: 1. Can you think of some examples of frugal innovations in your industry that

can disrupt the way business is conducted by firms everywhere?

2. What are the missing gaps in the business system that you need to fill in order for you to capture the value from frugal innovations?

Case: The Paradox of Samsung’s Rise (HBR R1107N)

Questions: 1. What allowed Samsung to transform itself from being an imitator to an

innovator?

2. What are the key HR practices behind Samsung’s hybrid management system?

Change Management:Change Pro Simulation

In this session, you will have a chance to test your skills of influence without authority and change leadership in a computer-simulated organisation. Working in teams, you will be given the task of getting the buy-in of 24 simulated managers to adopt a Six Sigma quality programme. You will have a wide range of tactics available to you and much information to consider. After you have finished the simulation, we will have a plenary debrief session so that you can learn from the experiences of other teams and identify the general learning points. We will discuss how we can translate the lessons of the simulation back to the real-world contexts of change that you face.

Fundamental Principles of Good Strategic ThinkingThis summary to what constitutes good strategic thinking will be a good introduction to the more topical issues that will be dealt with in the programme.

Background Reading:Article: Towards an integrated perspective of strategy: The value-process framework

Corporate Strategy in Fast-Growing EconomiesA big problem in many emerging economies is that much of the institutional infrastructures that firms in the West take for granted are either missing or underdeveloped. While such institutional voids present challenges, they also provide enormous opportunities for entrepreneurial foreign or domestic companies to build businesses based on filling these voids. The goal of this session is to discuss how companies can identify and exploit opportunities to build businesses by filling in institutional gaps. Detailed examples of companies like Ciputra in Indonesia, LG in Korea, and Li & Fung in China illustrate the opportunities, as well as the challenges companies face in today’s fast-growing markets.

Background Reading:Case: The Ciputra Group: Shaping the City In Asia (Richard Ivey School of Business 9B09M084)

You can think about the following questions:1. What are the challenges of inadequate institutional infrastructure in Asia that make it difficult for firms to operate and grow?

2. How to identify and exploit opportunities to build businesses by filling institutional gaps?

Financial Markets Trends for Corporationsand Financial InstitutionsThis case will provide a rich platform to think not only about financial structuring but also about risk management, the options (and real options) attached and unusual underlying risks. It is also a good case to go from corporate finance concerns to financial markets concerns as corporations try to play sophisticated financial markets instruments more frequently. It will also address the role of the banker in that environment.

This session will also allow us to go into further technical sophistication (jump risk, bimodal distributions) and address information asymmetries issues in OTC options. Most importantly, it will exemplify an interesting use of an equity derivative structure for contingent financing in a high growth-high risk industry.

Background Reading:Case: Cephalon, Inc. (HBS 9-298-116)

Questions:1. Why is Kevin Buchi considering the equity derivative proposal from SBC? If Cephalon does not use the proposed financing, what will happen in case of FDA approval? In case of rejection?

2. Does the SBC proposal seem fair? How would you evaluate it? What difficulties are you facing in doing it? Would SBC face any further

difficulties? Please be as precise and complete as possible.

3. What are the risks associated with the proposed structure?

4. Should Buchi push Cephalon to do it?

Optional background reading:Principles of Corporate Finance, Brealey & Myers

Acquisitions:From Deal to Integration

The ABN Amro acquisition, the largest acquisition of a financial service firm ever, was unique in many ways and triggered questions on the evolution of M&As in Europe. A hostile bid from a consortium of three competitors, a hedge fund getting involved with activism on its mind and the background of a tremendous drop in bank share prices during the so-called “subprime crisis” led to new structures and new risks. Today, we can capture with more balance the tensions, the stakes and the lessons learned. We will explore them in depth during this session together.

Background Reading:Case: Deal Making in Troubled Waters: The ABN Amro Takeover (IMD-1-0276)

Questions:1. What are the strengths and weaknesses of the consortium’s deal structure?

2. What are your concerns regarding integration planning and integration implementation?

3. What lessons do we take for the future of banking in Europe and worldwide?

FACU

LTY Professor Didier Cossin

Professor Cossin is the director of IMD Global Board Center. He works with senior leaders, executive committees and boards to provide the latest thinking on best-in-class governance, risk and opportunity optimisation, investment selection and strategy design. He favours an adaptive and interactive approach to finding distinctive solutions for organisations on a wide range of management topics. His latest research focuses on the role of the board in achieving success. His past research has dealt with risks, M&As and financial decision making.

In his work with boards, Professor Cossin helps them enhance organisational performance through strategy involvement, best-in-class decision making, information management and general governance (including board restructurings). He is an advocate of adapting board work to the economic transformation taking place in many regions of the globe, and through his international experience he has gained insights into the different ways in which societies and economies deal with the issues at stake.

He also looks at the latest approaches to risk issues. His work addresses not only technical risks (for which he uses his finance background) but also those arising from a number of different factors: psychological biases, social and cultural environments, technological changes (such as in information issues), strategic choices and/or from governance structure (for which he levers his long experience with senior leaders).

Professor Cossin is an advisor and/or executive teacher with the United Nations, central banks of several countries, the boards or executive committees of corporations, financial institutions and funds in Europe, Asia and the Middle East. His most significant experience is with the oil and gas industry (Schlumberger, Shell, Sinopec, Saudi Aramco and others) and the banking industry (HSBC, Bank of America, Goldman Sachs, ICBC and others), but he has also worked with many other industries (media, luxury goods, retail, shipping, etc.). He is a member of the Risk Who’s Who Society, the American Finance Association, the Eastern Finance Association, and the European Finance Association.

Professor Cossin holds a PhD from Harvard University (Robert C. Merton Chair) and is a former Fulbright Fellow at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Department of Economics (USA). He is a former student of ENS rue d’Ulm (France) and holds master degrees from Sorbonne University and EHESS (France).

Before joining IMD, Didier Cossin worked for Goldman Sachs (London, UK) and pharmaceutical company Roussel-Uclaf (Tokyo, Japan) as it was considering an initial offering on the Tokyo Stock Exchange. He has taught at Harvard University, where he obtained two Derek Bok Awards for excellence in teaching, and was associate then full professor at HEC, University of Lausanne (1993-2002). He chaired the university’s Department of Management (1995-1997); was the Director of both its Institute of Banking & Financial Management (1997-2002) and its PhD in Management (1997-1999). At IMD, he has led or co-led the pension fund, the recruiting process, a strategy review as well as other administrative responsibilities supporting the success of the organisation.

He is the author and co-author of two books, a number of book chapters and many articles, several of which have obtained citations of excellence or other awards.

He holds the UBS Chair in Banking and Finance at IMD and has also received distinctions such as the Febelfin BFI Chair and the Deloitte Risk Management Chair.

Professor Pasha MahmoodIshtiaq Pasha Mahmood is Professor of Strategy and Asian Business.

Pasha’s research covers the interface between corporate strategy and international business and is driven by his fundamental curiosity regarding why some firms continue to prosper while others stagnate. A large part of his research is about how firms make the transition from being imitators to innovators. The other main strand of his research focuses on how firms respond to major environmental shocks. Pasha won the Haynes Prize from the Academy of International Business (AIB) for the most prominent scholar in international business under the age of 40. He also sits on the editorial boards of Strategic Management Journal, and the Journal of International Business Studies.

Diversified business groups such as Samsung in Korea, Tata in India or Formosa in Taiwan are an integral part of the corporate landscape that intrigues Pasha. In one of his current working papers, Pasha focuses on director interlocks among group affiliates to examine when and how strategic centralisation can improve group performance. In another paper, recently published in the Strategic Management Journal, Pasha and his colleagues show that the networks of inter-firm ties within business groups can either enhance or depreciate firm capabilities depending on the way the ties are structured. Pasha’s recent research interests include frugal innovation and Islamic business.

Pasha comes to IMD from the National University of Singapore, where he pioneered a highly innovative and popular module called “Business Environments in Asia,” and also won the university level Outstanding Researcher Award. Prior to his doctoral training, Pasha worked as a management consultant in Chicago and Boston.

Pasha obtained his B.A. in Economics from Oberlin College and his Ph.D. from Harvard University.
