Drucker-JAIMS Inaugural Roundtable Focuses on
Leadership for the New Millennium
HONOLULU
— The Drucker-JAIMS Inaugural Roundtable on leadership for
the new millennium just concluded in Hawaii, January 12-14, 2000.
Highlighted by Peter F. Drucker’s presentation on "drivers"
for the new millennium to the Roundtable participants, more than
42 participants from the United States, Japan, China, Australia,
Brazil and Mexico discussed and debated corporate governance, competitive
strategy in an era of globalization, and knowledge productivity
in organizations.
Led by honorary co-chairs
Chairman Tadashi Sekizawa of Fujitsu Limited and Chairman David
Heenan of The Estate of James Campbell, and facilitated by faculty
from the Peter F. Drucker School of Management and Hitotsubashi
University, the Roundtable participants overwhelming indicated that
sharing perspectives with colleagues from different countries signaled
the excitement and challenges that globalization is bringing to
the table of every corporation or organization, regardless of origin.
The participants found that corporate governance may be converging
and businesses on both sides of the Pacific need to take this into
account in mergers and alliances.
Roundtable presenters included
Cornelis A. de Kluyver, dean of the Peter F. Drucker Graduate School
of Management; Richard Ellsworth, professor of management and co-director
of the Institute for Advanced Studies in Leadership at the Drucker
School; Ikujiro Nonaka, founding dean of the Graduate School of
Knowledge Science at the Japan Advanced Institute of Science and
Technology and the Xerox Distinguished Professor of Knowledge at
Haas School of Business, University of California at Berkeley; Vijay
Sathe, professor of management at the Drucker School; and Hirotaka
Takeuchi, dean of the Graduate School of International Business
Strategy at Hitotsubashi University.
JAIMS, in partnership with
the Peter F. Drucker School of Management at Claremont Graduate
University, served as the hosting organization for this prestigious
group of business and community leaders. Governor Benjamin Cayetano
of Hawaii provided a proclamation for the event, and The First Lady
of Hawaii, Vicky Cayetano, was a Roundtable participant.
Details to follow later as
the organizers sort out the myriad of ideas and issues that emerged
from the executives, who came from both profit and nonprofit organizations.
