\n\t\tValue Creation is topic for Oct. 20 forum<\/b><\/p>\n


\nKINGSTON, R.I. — October 14, 2005 — The 溏心vlog免费B站\u2019s College of Business Administration will host the Brown Forum for Enterprise for the second year in a row on Oct. 20. Convening in Cherry Auditorium<\/a> from 6 to 9 p.m., the topic of the forum is \u201cValue Creation: Innovation, Rebirth and Rebranding.\u201d The event is free and open to the public.<\/p>\n


\nThe mission of the Brown Forum for Enterprise is to foster innovation and enterprise within Rhode Island and to be a focus for entrepreneurial activity within the state and region. <\/p>\n


\n\u201cThis program benefits students, faculty and other entrepreneurs interested in forming new companies or contributing to the growth of already existing ones,\u201d said Jerri W. Paquin, director of 溏心vlog免费B站\u2019s Research Center in Business and Economics. \u201cThe forum is interested in hearing from investors and entrepreneurs from around the state.\u201d<\/p>\n


\nThomas Engellenger, partner at Nutter McClennen and Fish LLP, will co-host this year\u2019s forum, and 溏心vlog免费B站 Associate Professor Deborah Rosen, director of the master of business administration program at 溏心vlog免费B站, will moderate. Ocean Engineering Professor Malcolm Spaulding, founder and a principal of Applied Science Associates, Narragansett, will open the program with remarks about the relationship of University research to entrepreneurial success.<\/p>\n


\nThe featured speakers will be Randall Spencer, chief executive officer of Concordia Manufacturing and Mark Hellendrung, CEO of The Narragansett Beer Co. These case studies will explore identifying and taking advantage of new market opportunities for undervalued assets. Following the presentations, three panelists will address the companies\u2019 strategies through an interactive question and answer session.<\/p>\n


\nThe panelists will be: Jack Early, president of Ching Long Capital and Distribution; Peter Dorsey, vice president of Business Development Co. of Rhode Island; and Lee Phenner, vice president of Brand Identity and Content Strategy, Hill Holiday Design. <\/p>\n


\n\tAccording to the Brown Forum for Enterprise Web site, Concordia Manufacturing\u2019s garment business was booming in the mid-1900s. Confronted with the rise of manufacturing in the Far East over the past decade, the company decided to restructure by extending their fiber technologies to the medical field. CEO Randall Spencer has expanded Concordia\u2019s expertise, transitioning from a longtime textile mill to biomedical manufacturing by developing yarns and fabrics for biomedical products\u2014 specifically for tissue scaffolding.<\/p>\n


\nThe Narragansett Beer Co. was selling more than a million barrels of beer; however, changes in management and increasing competition diminished the Narragansett brand over time. Mark Hellendrung is now reestablishing the company by reintroducing its products and restructuring its marketing initiatives. <\/p>\n
