Novartis Roundtable on Feb. 22-23: Social Innovation and Sustainability

The concept of social innovation seeks innovative answers or business models to address social problems of relevance to business such as poverty, health or environmental degradation. The good news for business is that this process is inherent in business's strengths: competing to be smarter, faster, and greater while transforming to the new requirements of a changing world.
