Are you curious what a lecture at UBC Sauder's Robert H. Lee Graduate School is like?

Join us on August 10th for a sample lecture, "Disruptive Innovation: How to Identify, Prepare, and Defend Against Disruption" with Tim Silk.

Tim Silk is an Associate Professor of Teaching, Marketing and Behavioural Science Division, UBC Sauder School of Business.

Tim's research interests include consumer judgment, decision making and attitude-behavioural consistency (procrastination, affective forecasting, monetary formats, frequency reward programs, mental accounting, consumer rebates, attribute framing, new product forecasting).

In this lecture we will explore the underlying market forces that explain how disruptive innovations put market leaders out of business. Professor Silk will discuss the early-stage mistakes that cause firms to dismiss disruptive innovations, and explain strategies that managers use to identify, prepare, and defend against disruption.

If you are interested in the Master of Business of Administration (MBA), Professional Master of Business Administration (PMBA) or International Master of Business Administration (IMBA) programs, this is definitely a must-see lecture for you.
