Welcome to the 11th Annual
INSEAD Private Equity Conference
INSEAD welcomes you to the 11th Annual Private Equity Conference.
The conference, inaugurated in 2003, has become the most successful private equity and
venture capital event hosted by a European academic institution. With over 1,500 INSEAD
alumni working in the industry worldwide, the conference is a global gathering of thought
leaders to exchange ideas and experiences.
In the last 12 months, the global economy has continued to recover from a difficult economic
crisis. Some industries went through significant transformation, some were not able to adapt to
new economic conditions and today are still experiencing difficult times. The private equity
industry continues to surprise us with new innovations and models for value creation as it
adapts to this changing environment. The theme of this year’s conference is “Adapting or ReInventing the Private Equity model?” It provides a platform for discussion around recent
changes in the industry as well as predicting its future development. To further develop the
main theme we have lined up a focused range of topics for panels and have assembled a
diverse group of outstanding panellists and moderators for you. In terms of asset classes,
panels cover leveraged buyouts, venture and growth capital, and distressed investing. Other
panels include limited partners’ perspectives, achieving operational excellence, investing in
emerging markets and careers in private equity.
This year’s conference provides an open forum for leading practitioners, academics, and the
INSEAD community to debate the forces shaping the fast-changing industry today. We are
delighted to host an impressive and diverse group of experienced industry professionals.
The annual conference is organized by student members of the INSEAD Private Equity Club
with the support of Club alumni, Global Private Equity Initiative (INSEAD faculty body focused
on research in Private Equity industry), Alumni Relations and Student Life offices. IPEC would
like to thank our distinguished speakers and guests for contributing to this year’s conference
as well as our sponsors, Bain & Company and AlpInvest, for their financial support and
guidance. In addition, this day would not have been possible without the dedication of a large
number of INSEAD MBA participants, members of the administration and faculty.
Thank you for joining us. We hope this conference will provide an opportunity to learn from
the experience and insights of our keynote speakers and panelists, a forum for discussion and
a platform to forge new relationships within the community.

Global Private Equity Initiative
GPEI is INSEAD’s Centre of Excellence in Private Equity and works hand in hand with private
equity firms to create relevant, timely and thought provoking output. Our research targets to
enhance the productivity of the capital deployed in this asset class and to facilitate the
exchange of ideas and best practices amongst limited and general partners and stakeholders
involved in the industry (e.g. family firms, public markets, and regulators).
In the short three years since its formation INSEADs Global Private Equity Initiative has created
original yet applied content on a range of under-researched topics and geographies and
generally engaged with senior industry players in many ways. GPEI helped to establish a state
of the art comprehensive curriculum in Private Equity at INSEAD that is executed in close
cooperation with the industry. Today about 700 MBAs take Private Equity electives every year
and more than 1500 alumni work in the industry.
INSEAD's global presence gives GPEI a unique advantage to conduct research into the
established markets for private equity while at the same time exploring new frontiers in
emerging markets to arrive at a truly global perspective on the asset class. GPEI is also
focusing attention on newer areas shaping the industry such as Impact Investing, Growth
Equity, and Real Estate Private Equity and the needs of various sets of LPs (e.g. Family offices,
Sovereign Wealth Funds).
We are supported by a group of world class companies (The Abraaj Group, General Atlantic,
The Boston Consulting Group and PricewaterhouseCoopers) that recognise the importance of
independent research and outreach activities for the growth of the global private equity
industry. In addition GPEI draws on leading data providers to the private equity industry Asian Venture Capital Journal, Dow Jones, Preqin and Pevara - for its on-going research
activities.

Brief Description: How many
of us are aware that HSBC,
'The World's Local Bank',
originated in Hong Kong and
Shanghai? Business managers
need to have a global vision in
order to be successful, with
the skills to formulate and
implement strategy across
borders. Global Strategic
Management lays down the foundations of
'traditional' strategy theory from a global
perspective, while highlighting issues unique to
companies operating worldwide and discusses
truly 'transnational' firms, whose place of origin can
no longer be pinpointed. The third edition of this
popular text offers substantially revised chapters
on Emerging global players and Global trends, as
well as more coverage of ethics and sustainability,
and outsourcing and offshoring.
Brief Description: Business
ecosystems change constantly.
Opportunities come and go and
the race is won by the most
agile. Today’s business leaders
know all too well that to compete
and grow, they must regularly
expand or reinvent – but how
should they go about bridging
the resource gap? No matter
their size or pedigree, firms have a limited number
of options: they can innovate internally (build);
enter into contracts or alliances and joint ventures
(borrow); or merge or acquire (buy). In their new
book, Laurence Capron and Will Mitchell show
how ineffectively most companies plan for growth
and, drawing on two decades of research and
interviews with senior executives present a stepby-step Resource Pathways Framework that helps
business leaders assess the potential benefits and
risks of all the possible sourcing modes for their
company, and select the best option for each new
growth initiative.
Brief Description: From smart
phones and computers to blue
jeans and beer, companies from
China, India, Taiwan, Mexico,
Turkey, and other emerging
markets are now winning
leading market shares with their
own-branded,
high-quality
products-rather than with poorly
produced products sold under
others’ brand names. These emerging-market
multinational companies are giving the incumbent
market leaders of North America, Western Europe,
and Japan a run for their money in the areas of
innovation, branding, and marketing. How have
these small, under-resourced businesses come so
far so quickly? And what can you learn from their
strategies and tactics? Renowned experts in global
branding and marketing, the authors of The New
Emerging-Market Multinationals conducted an indepth study of 39 EMNCs to reveal the innovative
compete-from-below strategies and tactics fueling
these companies’ meteoric rise.
Brief Description: Are you the
next Steve Jobs? You could be
as innovative and impactful—if
you can change your behaviors
to improve your creative
impact. In The Innovator’s DNA,
authors Jeffrey Dyer, Hal
Gregersen, and bestselling
author Clayton Christensen (The
Innovator’s
Dilemma,
The
Innovator’s Solution) build on what we know about
disruptive innovation to show how individuals can
develop the skills necessary to move progressively
from idea to impact. By identifying behaviors of the
world’s best innovators—from leaders at Amazon
and Apple to those at Google, Skype, and Virgin
Group—the authors outline five discovery skills
that distinguish innovative entrepreneurs and
executives from ordinary managers and explain
how, buy mastering these skills, you can generate
ideas, collaborate with colleagues to implement
them, and build innovation skills throughout your
organization to sharpen its competitive edge.
