Industry Strategy Symposium (ISS) U.S. 2009 The Great Game of Growth: Managing Growth in a Global Economy
Critical Information for the Coming Year…. Now More Important than Ever The semiconductor industry is at an unprecedented junction—facing a new reality— unlike any other time in its history. Companies want to know, “What kind of company do I need to be? What kind of management team will succeed in the new industry ecosystem?” It’s a whole new game where older, proven growth strategies seem less applicable. Increasingly, new elements in company strategy are taking hold: a shifting customer set, new product development paradigms, capital and R&D sourcing, “cooptition,” and diversification. In this new world, executives hope that they will survive the current economic situation and succeed in the coming rebound. But they know they are in unchartered territory in a game that is changing almost every day. ISS 2009 will shine a spotlight on the forces that are shaping our industry and creating the opportunities for tomorrow’s growth leaders. Who Should Attend CEOs, presidents and other senior corporate executives from the semiconductor industry find great benefit in ISS. Also Consider Attending the Strategic Materials Conference The Strategic Materials Conference will start immediately following ISS. It is the only annual forum that gathers the global materials supplier and device communities together to discuss common strategic issues and business concerns, obtain the latest hot market trends and forecasts, and have opportunities for face-to-face collaboration. Topics zero in on key issues within the semiconductor materials markets and are driven by incisive perspectives from top-level industry speakers, expert analysts and seasoned academia. Discounted pricing is available for those who attend both ISS and SMC full conferences. Visit www.semi.org/smc for details. Golf and Network with SMC Attendees The Half Moon Bay Ocean Course ISS attendees may also wish to participate in a combined golf outing with SMC attendees on Wednesday, January 14, followed by the SMC opening reception.
