SUMMARY:Lansing Economic Club - Patrick J. Kennedy\, Former Congressman
DESCRIPTION:The Lansing Regional Chamber of Commerce Economic Club is pleased to announce that Patrick J. Kennedy\, former U.S. Representative turned national mental health advocate\, will keynote the March luncheon held Tuesday\, March 26. Kennedy\, 45\, is the youngest child of former U.S. Senator Edward Ted Kennedy.Kennedy is being brought to Michigan by the Hope Network to advance the statewide conversation about the importance of integrating mental and physical health. The announcement of Kennedy\, who openly discusses his personal struggles with mental illness\, coincides with Hope Networks intention in 2013 to advocate for increased public access to mental health care.In his Lansing Regional Chamber Economic Club address\, Kennedy will address why mental health care is not only a major social issue\, as over 50% of Americans will suffer from mental illness at some point in their lives\, but also one of the most important economic issues\, as the indirect cost of mental health illness due to lost productivity in Michigan is estimated to be over $4 billion. Kennedy will discuss how healthcare systems in states like Michigan can lead the way in changing how healthcare is delivered.

SUMMARY:Partial Least Squares Modeling Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Academics\, industry\, government\, and individuals are confronted with an explosion of data. The data increasingly are emerging from sources such as Web traffic\, social networking interactions\, search behavior\, sensors that track suppliers\, customers and shipments\, and GPS systems that monitor traffic\, to name only some of the more visible sources. This trend\, often referred to as the age of big data\, is pushing the world toward data-driven discovery and decision making. This abundance of data presents both opportunities and chal¬lenges. \nTo solve some of the analysis issues with todays data\, this one-day workshop provides an introduction to PLS Path Modeling. Participants will learn how to apply PLS Path Modeling by means of the SmartPLS software. The seminar contains several SmartPLS examples and exercises. We suggest you download the free SmartPLS software (www.smartpls.de) and install it on your computer\, and then bring the computer to the workshop to participate in running the sample problems.The workshop is designed for faculty scholars\, doctoral students\, and marketing research professionals who are engaged in\, or interested in\, current techniques to perform Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) using PLS Path Modeling. Christian Ringle and Marko Sarstedt will lead the workshop\, authors of the recent Sage book on PLS. Ringle is also the lead creator of the SmartPLS software (which is used by more than 45\,000 professionals worldwide).

SUMMARY:Research Seminar: Small Forces and Large Firms: Foundations of the RBV
DESCRIPTION:Professor Wernerfelt has been a thought leader on various strategic management\, economics\, marketing\, and management science topics for decades. His work on the resource-based view has set the tone for numerous studies and advances across many business fields (see Wernerfelt 1984\, Strategic Management Journal). For this invited research presentation\, Wernerfelt will focus on issues that he presented at the Copenhagen Business School recently when they awarded him an honorary doctorate. Specifically\, his presentation titled Small Forces and Large Firms: Foundations of the RBV is a synthesis of several papers he has written since the publication of A Resource-based View of the Firm (Wernerfelt\, 1984). The starting point is a very small force: The reduction in bargaining costs when several bargains are pooled into one. He shows that one can construct a theory of the firm based on this force and defend the theory by arguing that it makes predictions consistent with several stylized facts. In addition\, the theory suggests that firms should decide on their strategy and scope based on excess capacity of productive resources – exactly like the RBV.
