Agribusiness Seminar – An Asian Offering

For the second time, Harvard Business School (HBS) is bringing its renowned Agribusiness Seminar to China, a critical agribusiness region. A more intimate version of the annual flagship session in Boston, this Shanghai-based program is a unique forum for assessing emerging trends and issues, identifying best management practices, and exploring promising new business strategies. You will gain fresh insights into the industry's future in a world where the demand for food, biofuels, and other agriculturally based products is rising dramatically.

What You Can Expect
Since its inaugural session in 1961, the premier Agribusiness Seminar has helped agribusiness executives set the right short-term path and long-range strategy for their organization. The 2010 Shanghai session combines a structured learning environment with the opportunity to share ideas with peers from around the globe, enhancing your leadership capabilities and effectiveness.

Your Course of Study
During this leadership development program, you will examine the critical factors that are changing the world of agribusiness. Stepping back from day-to-day responsibilities, you will examine how the industry is addressing the growing production gap while responding to the evolving global economy and diverse consumer needs. With a more holistic understanding of the market, you will improve your ability to make decisions and lead your organization amid ongoing global change.
