Media appoint the themes of the daily coverage and thus define the mindset of a large number of people worldwide. The so-called ?new media? provide the spread of information with a new dimension of speed, availability and ubiquity for billions of people. It is a fact that (new) media played a role in the current financial and economic crisis. But what exactly was the effect of media on the evolution of this crisis? Can this omnipresent flow of information act as a catalyst of these disastrous incidents? The financial crisis is not only the result of a bubble caused by immoderate financial practices but to a certain extent also the result of mass panic and a general loss of trust in the system. The objective is to debate possible solutions optimizing the organisation of media and all parties involved in the information flow in order to guarantee more sustainability and healthy growth. http://video.world-business-dialogue.com/watch?v=OcHRpz6 Fri, 02 Apr 2010 00:27:00 +0200 Hans Obermeier, Former Head of Communication HRE,Oliver Rosenthal, Managing Director, Saatchi & Saatchi, Andy Reinhardt, Europe Editor, BusinessWeek, Dr. Andreas Knaut, Head of Communication, Danone, and Christof Lang, Head of the Editorial Department, RTL Nachtjournal (Moderator) Bad speculation, extravagant bonus payments, cutbacks, ascending unemployment rate, calls for more state, and fears of unhealthy protectionism, panic mongering and minimization: media plays an important role in the dissemination of information.

For which possible increasing scenarios in the world and regional must countries and the economy be prepared? Can we expect a V- or a W-shaped growth process or are we going to be confronted with the Brazilianisation-Theory, which means the rich getting more and more powerful and the poor being neglected even further? What would be the political and enterprising consequences of each situation? Can we expect a long-term growth to be desirable and if yes, how can we realize sustainable growth today?

Some companies are facing a credit bottleneck. Consumers are acting completely irrational. Budgetary and product policy will never be the same. Against this background of ever changing economic frameworks, it appears that there are no reliable sources for predictions. Not only do economic frameworks influence the decision-making procedure, but the psychological aspect of how humans, in general, make decisions also plays an important role in this process. What influences do you use when faced with decisions? In addition, there is the fact that the consequences of our decisions in this globalised world remain often unclear. This crisis catalysed thinking from years to months - even weeks. Have decision-making processes changed in the past 20 years--in the past year? Companies need a flexible organisational structure that allows quick response to sudden shifts. The crisis has revealed the weak points of companies and forced executives to change strategic thinking habits. As the past teaches, the biggest risk a company can face is something completely new that never was imagined. In this fast paced environment, drafting possible scenarios and thinking of how to react to them is essential. We would like to discuss the question of how companies face constantly altering circumstances. The crux of this panel is: How to judge information and make decisions, especially in times of uncertainty? http://video.world-business-dialogue.com/watch?v=CrmmRUL Mon, 29 Mar 2010 22:25:00 +0200 Nobert Walter, Former Chief-Economist , Deutsche Bank, Dr. Roch Doliveux, CEO, UCB, Manuela Better, Chief Risk Officer, Hypo Real Estate Holding, Frank Riemensperger, Managing Director Austria, Switzerland and Germany, Accenture and Prof. Dr. Erik Hölzl, Professor of Economic and Social Psychology, Universität Köln (Moderator) While major players fall, rising stars will be born and new collaborations will emerge.
