A Perspective From Indiana Executives
What does it take to start, grow and sustain a business in Indiana? How important is foreign competition? What’s the state’s role in economic development and what initiatives offer the greatest growth opportunities?
For scholars, executives, elected officials and reporters covering the business community, these questions create a dialogue and a foundation on which we can help build a strategic plan to drive our state’s economy. It is also an opportunity to hear directly from Indiana executives about their challenges and the issues that impact their businesses, from health care costs and corporate reputation to customer loyalty and retention.
