Joint Event of Oxford University Society and British Chamber of Commerce

“Making Globalization a Win-Win” Dr. Hans-Paul Bürkner CEO & President BCG

We are delighted to invite you to a reception presented by the Oxford University Society and the BCCG Regional Committee in Bavaria, on the topic:

“Making Globalization a Win-Win”

Our special guest and featured speaker is

Dr. Hans-Paul Bürkner,
President and CEO of The Boston Consulting Group

After joining The Boston Consulting Group in Munich in 1981, Dr. Bürkner was head of BCG’s global Financial Services practice before being elected as the first CEO from Europe in 2004. Today he is based in Frankfurt and New York, and travels extensively among BCG’s 66 offices around the world. He is a frequent speaker on the challenges and opportunities of leadership in a globalising world.

“Making Globalization a Win-Win”

Globalization has opened up a wealth of possibilities – such as growth opportunities in new regions or access to new talent pools. It has increased free trade and investment, as well as facilitated the development of new technologies and products. It has helped low-income countries reduce poverty. However, globalization has also produced winners and losers. Many see it as a "Westernization" of native cultures and values. As the crisis in the financial markets demonstrates, it can expose countries to more risks and uncertainties. Not only individuals fear losing their jobs; even today's market leaders are facing new competitors from emerging markets that threaten their position. Despite these risks, we cannot wish globalization away. We must learn to embrace it. How can we make globalization a win-win for all – Western countries and emerging markets, established players, and new global challengers, rich and poor?
