CONFERENCE PROGRAM Fordham University | Gabelli School of Business and Customer Value Foundation May 14th-15th, 2019 New York City
DEAN’S WELCOME Dear Global Conference on Creating Value Attendees, It is a great pleasure to welcome you to Fordham University’s Gabelli School of Business and to New York City. As dean, I find it very meaningful that our school is this year’s host institution, and we are proud to be a partner in welcoming innovation, encouraging a value creation leadership style, and crafting new ideas with the potential to increase the worth of companies across a range of areas. The Gabelli School strives to create an atmosphere that is conducive to academic inquiry, interdisciplinary study, and research opportunities. We do this all in an effort to help tomorrow’s business leaders recog- nize emerging opportunities. Our Jesuit mission also pushes our students and faculty to view the pursuit of value as a creative exercise, and to understand that driving profit and creating social good can often be compatible goals. Whether our students take part in pitch challenges hosted by our hub of innovation, the Fordham Foundry, or create a course of study all their own in our Social Innovation Collaboratory, they are encouraged to take actionable, pragmatic approaches to their work and to recognize that even the most impressive business ideas will struggle without a sustainable, actionable strategy. I hope that the sessions over the next two days encourage you and inspire you. Thank you to all of the visiting academics and practitioners for taking part in this impressive gathering. My thanks also extend to Sertan Kabadayi, our marketing area chair and Gautam Mahajan, president of the Customer Value Foundation, for serving as conference co-chairs; and to Yuliya Komarova and Mohammad Nejad, both Gabelli School faculty members, for their service as academic program co-directors. With best wishes for a productive and engaging conference, Donna Rapaccioli, PhD Dean, Fordham University Gabelli School of Business

Gabelli School of Business, Fordham University, USA Dr. Keiko Gion, Kobe University, Japan Dr. Rita Goyal, Henley Business School, USA Dr. Martijn Rademakers, University of Amsterdam, The Netherlands According to the Journal of Creating Value: Value Creation is executing pro-active, conscious, inspired or imaginative and even normal actions that increase the overall good and well-being, and the worth of ideas, goods, services, people or institutions including society, and all stakeholders (like employ- ees, customers, partners, shareholders and society), and ideas waiting to happen. Thus Value is neither cost or price, nor is it merely benefits. It is the combination of the two in the perception of the receiver of value. We encourage you to use the concept of value accordingly.

CREATING VALUE ALLIANCE CREATING VALUE ALLIANCE & CUSTOMER VALUE FOUNDATION Value and Value Creation are discussed in all segments of business and society, The Journal of Creating Value jcv.sagepub.com was started 5 years ago to get practitioners and academics to define and use value more meaningfully; in fact to create more value consciously and destroy less value. The overwhelming response to the Journal led to holding the First Global Conference on Creating Value at Leicester, UK in May 2018, followed by this conference. We would like to thank Fordham University’s Gabelli School of Business for hosting us this year for our Second Global Conference on Creating Value. We are proud to say that there will be a third global conference and it will be announced at the conclusion of the 2019 meeting.

3rd Global Conference on Creating Value Paris – June 2 and 3, 2020 École des Ponts Business School and the Creating Value Alliance are proud to invite you to the Third Global Conference on Creating Value that will take place in Paris on June 2 and 3, 2020. Building on the foundations of the previous editions, the Paris Conference on Creating Value aims to explore further what it means to create value in a constantly changing environment, where unpredictability and uncertainty are compounded by ever-increasing complexity. In this fast-changing world, the traditional definitions and measures of value are being fundamentally put into question at all levels. Still, although most agree that the rules of the game may be changing, people, organizations and society at large have yet to find a clear way forward. A situation that is further compounded by the fact that they are all naturally resistant to change, inexorably tending back toward the familiarity of the past. So, come join the discussion – and become part of the solution – to co-create new ways of understanding and creating value together. In fact, don’t wait. Share with us the ideas, themes, questions you would like to see addressed in Paris: www.pontsbschool.com/creating-value/ And meanwhile, as a parting thought to stimulate your thinking: “Never value anything as profitable that compels you to break your promise, to lose your self-respect, to hate any man, to suspect, to curse, to act the hypocrite, to desire anything that needs walls and curtains.” Marcus-Aurelius See you in Paris!
