The number of companies being split into smaller companies has increased dramatically in the past 5 years. How are the research and development functions of these large companies impacted? What can and cannot be done in different structures, what scenarios lead to the most effective use of existing resources? How is change managed, with respect to people, assets, shared services, partnerships and brands and reputations? What must be kept intact and what can you live without?

Please join in the discussion if you've recently experienced a corporate split or if your company is currently in the process of splitting. To ensure the highest quality peer-to-peer exchange of information, attendance will be limited to the first 30 registrants.
