On Aug. 16, IRI's Dr. Krishnakumar (K.K.) S. Davey will present with Boston Consulting Group's Peri Edelstein on research compiled from 425 CPG companies uncovering the balance high-growth firms achieve between price and volume to drive growth, in their session titled "Build It or Buy It: How Acquisitions Are Shaping CPG Growth Leaders."
