2013-12-11 00:00 | MSU Henry Center for Executive Development, 3535 Forest Rd., Lansing, 48910, United States
While NAFTA opened the doors to increased opportunities south of the U.S. boarder, the ensuing rise of China to a global economic powerhouse pulled our attention and economic focus across the Pacific. However, recent events (a rise in Chinese wages and tighter turnaround deadlines) have led U.S. businesses to reconsider Mexico, in spite of some of its own issues (violence and drug-related crimes). Given limited resources, many companies are asking themselves: Which country marks our best opportunity? This seminar will provide you with the information to answer that question for your company. Our keynote speaker, Al Zapanta, has worked in both the private and government sectors, and has held numerous Presidential appointments, as well as leading peacekeeping missions with the United Nations. Dr. Zapanta will cover the latest issues and trends for U.S. companies doing business in Mexico, as well as highlighting the latest opportunities.

We are pleased to have Professor Richard Bagozzi visit on March 14, 2014 as a part of the Byington Marketing Speaker Series. The presentation is in room N336 of the Eli Broad College of Business from 10:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. with a light lunch served at noon.Dr. Bagozzi is the Dwight F. Benton Professor of Behavioral Science in Management in the Ross School of Business at the University of Michigan (and also Professor of Clinical, Social and Administrative Science in the UM College of Pharmacy).Overview of Presentation: Two basic processes in business interactions are a) understanding the beliefs, needs, feelings, and intentions of an interaction partner and b) resonating with their emotions as they relate to the interaction and goals of participants. Drawing on the analogy of autism, Bagozzi will first present a study of managers where the brain processes under-girding effective communication (i.e., theory of mind) are identified and further linked to performance. Next in a study exploring the foundations of empathy in business transactions, he will show how empathy is manifest in the brain in so-called mirror neurons and how it relates to the strategic orientation of a customer versus a sales focus. In a third study, he will demonstrate how theory of mind and empathy combine to influence organization citizenship behaviors and performance of sales managers. Time permitting, Professor Bagozzi hopes to also briefly sketch recent research on the use of neuroscience, genetic, and epidemiological principles and methods in the study of managers in the emerging sub-field of biomarketing
