Past lectures have featured prominent speakers in the fields of investment management, mergers and acquisitions, and advertising and marketing. In a very intimate gathering of marketing professors and doctoral students, industry pioneers, and notable alumni, Dr. Gupta spoke eloquently and knowledgeably about the current transformation across business and society. His presentation, “Reinventing Business for the Digital Era”, focused on revolutionary businesses using technological advances to disrupt and recreate business opportunities. He discussed how digital technology influences existing business industries, including startup, established and legacy companies. Successful businesses in the future will continue to restructure, reformulate business models, and implement marketing strategies to ensure successful growth and a loyal consumer base.
