Description: In this program, The Dow Chemical Company, the past and present of America's venerable chemical industry, catches a glimpse of the industry's possible future in Chemdex, an online B-to-B exchange, as chairman William Stavropoulos and former Chemdex CEO David Perry find common ground in their assessment of the hurdles facing tomorrow's CEOs. In addition, MBA students and faculty from the University of Michigan Business School ask questions about the triple bottom line, the role of the Web as a business information conduit, and what concerns keep Stavropoulos and Perry up at night.
