Vince,
Bryan has been unable to find anyone suitable to attend this symposium on Saturday, so has suggested I attend, which I am happy to do. My only reservation is that my knowledge of this area is very limited, so it is likely I would just be an observer, rather than a participant. Anyway just so that I am adequately prepared could you briefly describe our current relationship with this project, and also suggest any reading, like a magazine or paper, that would quickly aid my understanding of the topics to be discussed. Many thanks, Ben ---------------------- Forwarded by Benjamin Parsons/LON/ECT on 08/06/2000 08:36 --------------------------- Bryan Seyfried 06/06/2000 16:46 To: Benjamin Parsons/LON/ECT@ECT cc: Subject: Wharton Event-June10-Insead ---------------------- Forwarded by Bryan Seyfried/LON/ECT on 06/06/2000 16:48 --------------------------- Vince J Kaminski 05/06/2000 15:13 To: Bryan Seyfried/LON/ECT@ECT cc: Vince J Kaminski/HOU/ECT@ECT Subject: Wharton Event-June10-Insead Bryan, I shall call you later today when I have a chance to read the message from Ben. I wanted to ask you for a favor (on a very short notice). We are talking to the Wharton School about setting up a relationship with them and getting involved in one or more research projects with them. One of the potential topics is emerging technologies. The Wharton offers a symposium in Paris on June 10 on High Tech Acquisitions and it would make a lot of sense if you (or somebody from London you could identify) could attend and help us to evaluate the usefulness of this project. I am enclosing the message from the person in Wharton running this program.

Per our discussion, I've enclosed three files that include an invitation, agenda and rsvp form for the June 10 symposium on High Tech Acquisitions at Insead. If you or the individual(s) who will be attending have any questions, please email: Phanish Puranam at: PHANIS20@WHARTON.UPENN.EDU or you can call him at 215-898-1231. This initiative will be expanded during the coming year and I believe that Enron's involvement will give the company access to some of the early research in progress as it unfolds, and of course, if you become involved as a partner in the Emerging Technologies Program you would have opportunities to help guide the direction of the research which is one of the partnership "benefits." Our next upcoming events are scheduled for: Friday, September 8 "WHAT NEXT ON THE INTERNET?" This is a faculty update day with industry partners also invited. We will co-sponsor this with Wharton's major e-Business initiative. Major issues addresses include "New Economics of the Web" and "Internet, Anywhere." Friday, October 20 "FIRST MOVER ADVANTAGE, SHAKEOUTS & SURVIVAL STRATEGIES" Designed by the ET core group and presented in collaboration with the e-Commerce Forum. As I indicated during our discussion, participation in the Emerging Technologies Management Research Program is by invitation and on behalf of our core faculty, I am pleased to extend an invitation for Enron to join the program. To assist in your decision, we recommend having a representative attend the symposium in Paris on June 10 to "test drive" the program. I'll send you a formal invitation which you are free to accept at your convenience, should you agree that Enron's participation in the ET Program would be of value. Please call or email if you have any comments or questions. best regards, Michael - Insead workshop Invitation lett - Insead Workshop Agenda1.doc - RSVP form.doc Michael S.
