SUMMARY:IB Webinar Series: "The Varieties of Populism; Their Rise & Impact on Business & Society"
DESCRIPTION:Today\, we have seen the rise of many populist leaders and parties across the globe. This has led to rising interest in the phenomenon of populism. However\, this interest\, particularly in the public domain has led to naive and stereotypical definitions and views on populism based on a few prominent contemporary cases. Yet populism has a long historical tradition\, particularly in the United States and South America\, and has its roots all the way back to Ancient Rome. In this webinar\, we discuss the nature of populism and its varieties\, and why today it is a mixture of factors we have seen before. Some appear new and unique but are still within the bounds of our understanding. \nKey takeaways: \n1. Gain a clearer perspective on the populist wave of the last decade. \n2. Acquire a better understanding of how companies have\, and can\, address\, the political reality they are facing.\n3. Develop an understanding of how the political structure of different countries can influence their susceptibility to the influence of fringe political ideologies. \nThis webinar is FREE and open to all\, but registration is required. Zoom details will be sent to all registered participants.

SUMMARY:IB Webinar Series: "Internationalization of Circular Business Models & Related Value Chains"
DESCRIPTION:Interest in circular business models (CBMs) and sustainable practices across the value chain is growing as businesses face increasing pressure to operate responsibly on a global scale. While CBMs hold the promise of sustainability and resource efficiency\, adapting and internationalizing these models presents unique challenges. How can companies successfully enter into new markets while staying true to their circular principles?\nA key factor lies in understanding the actors of the business model—suppliers\, partners\, and other stakeholders—and aligning them with the goals of circularity. Building sustainable value chains requires not only selecting the right suppliers and partners but also adapting the entire business model to new international contexts.\nThis session explores the intersection of internationalization and circularity in business models. The discussion will be about how companies pursuing circularity can succeed internationally\, how they can adapt CBMs to succeed in new markets and how can the roles of key actors in these models be identified. \nKey Takeaways: \n\n Explore the challenges businesses face in expanding circular business models (CBMs) internationally\n Identify the key approaches needed for successful internationalization of circular business model\n Understand how to integrate key actors in the value chain to ensure alignment with circularity principles and drive sustainable value creation.\n\nThis is a free webinar\, but registration is required.

SUMMARY:“Ask\, Believe\, Cultivate - Adjust\, Balance\, Create - Amplify\, Bridge\, Contribute. The ABC of Navigating Research (and Academia) across Career Stages"
DESCRIPTION:Drawing on her 35 years of experience of working in academia\, Professor Anne-Wil Harzing shares her ideas on how to navigate the sometimes choppy waters of research (and academia) across career stages. Her talk will cover early\, mid\, and late career stages\, and shows how our priorities (should) change over time. \nThe aim of the presentation is to challenge the audience to reflect on how they can successfully navigate the career stage they are currently in. However\, it will also ask the audience to share what they would like those at other career stages than their own to understand about the unique challenges of their own career stage. As such it hopes to build mutual understanding between scholars at different career stages. \nTakeaways: \n\n Different career stages (should) come with different research priorities and challenges.\n Each career stage has its own lead theme: survival\, identity\, and legacy.\n Collaboration between scholars at different career stages requires mutual understanding of different priorities and challenges.\n\nThis webinar is FREE and open to all\, but registration is required.\nZoom details will be sent to all registered participants.

SUMMARY:"An Entrepreneurial Vision for Export Success"
DESCRIPTION:An asylee from Colombia\, Felipe Arroyave came to the U.S. as a teenager with a strong work ethic and a desire to better himself through education. \nAlong the way\, he caught a vision for helping those in the developing world\, from Latin America to the Middle East and beyond\, who lacked access to the specialty contact lenses patients in the West take for granted. \nRemedying the problem —and fixing vision for sufferers of kerotoconus\, corneal abrasions and other rare ocular problems — required some gumption and finesse. He’d spied the problem while working for a $4 billion lens distributor who was blind to the potential in smaller economies. \nArroyave first proved the concept\, boosting sales for his employer in Latin American markets before branching out on his own and converting his former boss into one of his largest customers. \nFast forward to today\, and Spectrum was named the U.S. Small Business Administration’s Small Business Exporter of the Year in 2024 on top of previous honors\, including winning both the Georgia GLOBE Award and the Atlanta Metro Export Challenge. \nHIs journey from the factory floor to the C-suite\, and his recent expansion of logistics and support infrastructure in Latin America to support growing sales\, offers an inspiring story of overcoming the odds by seeing and seizing opportunities in international business. \nKey Takeaways: \n\n How to see opportunities at the so-called “bottom of the pyramid” that legacy players believe are too costly or not lucrative enough to serve.\n The mechanics of exporting — how understanding payment\, shipping\, logistics and exchange rates can become a competitive advantage in the United States.\n How give-back programs including free education to doctors and patients\, along with an initiative provide contact lenses to underprivileged patients\, has helped build goodwill and boost the bottom line.\n\nThis webinar is free and open to all\, but registration is required. Zoom details will be sent to all registered participants.
