SUMMARY:Celebrating Rumi in the 21st Century
DESCRIPTION:This conference examines the poetry & philosophy of Rumi\, the 13th-century Muslim poet\, philosopher\, & mystic\, & its relevance to contemporary understandings of Islamic culture. It also deals with renewed interests in Rumi’s writings in recent years throughout the Middle East\, Europe\, & the United States. The starting point of the conference is Rumi’s well-known verse “come\, come again\, whoever you are\, come!” Rumi’s eloquent & humanistic poetry\, written sometimes with a sense of humor\, creates a window on Islamic beliefs\, values\, & wisdom that is far removed from images of violence & terrorism. Bringing well-known scholars of Islamic mysticism\, Rumi\, & the Middle East together\, we explore Rumi’s writings\, their place in Islamic literature & society\, & their resurgence as bestsellers in the West. The universality of Rumi’s poetry fosters an understanding of the human experience that transcends the boundaries of nations\, religions\, & languages.

SUMMARY:MSU Greater China Supply Chain Forum
DESCRIPTION:The Greater China Supply Chain Forum is a core project of the Broad International Business Forum (BIBF)\, held each fall at Michigan State University. Each year over 300 students\, faculty and professionals converge to hear top managers speak about their experiences in China.

Three panels of speakers are joined by guest moderators to provide a full day of presentations and Q&A on focused topics in current\, international business. An informal luncheon in the middle of the day brings speakers and attendees together for a chance to interact on a more personal level\, and sets the scene for the announcement of the annual BIBF scholarship recipient. This award is given to an outstanding international student and made possible by the generous donations of the forum’s sponsors.

SUMMARY:Detroit Economic Club: Fortune Favors the Brave: The Net Gain of Security in a Risk-Based World
DESCRIPTION:The Honorable Tom Ridge.  \nThe inextricable link between security and prosperity in a progressively interdependent world has generated enormous political and economic benefits but also consequent challenges. As the interdependence grows\, so grows the vulnerability. Terrorism\, natural disasters\, criminal acts\, vendor issues\, accidents and geopolitical influences can have debilitating effects on economies and thus have put issues such as supply chain security\, cross-border collaborations and security investment at the forefront of every proactive business and government agenda. \nSecretary Ridge\, the nation’s first secretary of Homeland Security and former governor Pennsylvania\, will share his views of today’s risk-centric environment and how to minimize those risks in favor of greater resiliency and security across the globe.

SUMMARY:Does International Diversification Matter?
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Tamer Cavusgil will give a seminar on the preliminary findings for a meta analysis of multinationality and firm performance. Much scholarly work has been devoted to studying the performance implications of multinationality (also referred to as international diversification). This presentation will report on a meta-analysis designed to reveal empirical generalizations from this vast body of evidence. While multinationality is found to be positively associated with overall firm performance\, contextual analysis reveals even more interesting findings. Multinationality-performance relationship is found to be stronger for multinationals from European and Japanese multinationals. Firms in manufacturing industries benefit more from internationalization than firms in service industries. Bivariate results also indicate that multinationality-performance relationship is stronger for the period preceding 1980. Finally\, the results indicate that multinationality positively affects performance during both the early and late stages of internationalization. Positive effects of multinationality are strongest for firms with moderate levels of internationalization.
