How should projects be evaluated? How should the firm decide on its mix of R&D investment across different business activities, or across projects with different timelines or levels of risk? How much rigor is going into the project valuation and selection process? How do managers decide when to pull the plug on a project? This year's Stern Innovation Conference theme will be "Building Innovation Portfolios." Come join us to hear the latest in research and practice about how managers create and manage their firms' innovation portfolios, and the lessons they have learned. ## Program Show All | Hide All Opening Remarks Melissa Schilling Panel Session 1: Innovation in Healthcare Devin Mann, NYU Grossman School of Medicine Yin Aphinyanaphongs, NYU Langone Medical Center Yvonne W.
