Own words
By this year, the 10th anniversary of the European Management Forum, the list of corporate members increased to over 300, among them the most successful European enterprises and an increasing number of international companies.
At the 1980 European Management Symposium, Henry Kissinger, who had stepped down as US secretary of state in January 1977, delivered the opening address. Before he spoke, the Forum awarded him a prize created to mark its first decade. The German-born former Harvard professor and 1973 Nobel Peace Prize laureate, whom Klaus Schwab had first met when he had been a student at Harvard in 1966 and regarded as a mentor, was honoured for his contributions to international cooperation. In his speech at Davos, Henry Kissinger focused on “the constantly changing world” and the age of global interdependence.[1]
