SUMMARY:MSI Consortium: Learning and Leading Through a Global Turnaround
DESCRIPTION:When Ravi Saligram joined Newell Brands in 2019 as President & CEO\, the company was experiencing poor performance\, low employee engagement\, and excessive complexity. In 2020\, Ravi and the world-class leadership team hed built were also faced with leading through the unexpected and monumental issues presented by COVID. Despite these challenges\, employee engagement scores increased significantly\, and the companys turnaround efforts persisted. \nWhile Ravi announced his May retirement earlier this year\, theres no doubt the company has strengthened during his tenure. Complexity and overhead costs have been reduced; Project Ovid\, a multi-year initiative consolidating 23 unique supply chains into one\, was successfully implemented; a new innovation operating model was introduced\, and innovations were launched that leveraged COVID trends; automation has been scaled\, and the company has best-in-class productivity and safety records. Notably\, Newell Brands was named one of Fortunes Most Admired Companies in 2022 and 2023\, a recognition it had not previously received. \nRavi is a three-time public CEO\, also having led OfficeMax\, Inc. and Ritchie Brothers. Despite arriving in the United States with less than $20 in his pocket\, he earned an MBA from the University of Michigan\, Ann Arbor. He has lived in six countries and worked in many more during his nearly 40-year career\, which began at Leo Burnett in Chicago. \nDuring this [webinar/course/event]\, Ravi will speak with Global Atlanta Managing Editor Trevor Williams and share: \n	The importance of a people-first approach and how to drive a culture of engagement \n	How companies can foster diversity\, inclusion\, and belonging and be a force for good \n	The necessity of cross-cultural competency and how international experience shapes perspective \nAll times are EST.

SUMMARY:MSI Consortium - Reflections on Global Supply Chain Challenges in Highly Technical & Regulated Industries
DESCRIPTION:The supply chain has been one of the most studied and researched areas of business due to its criticality for the continuity of manufacturing and the flow of goods. The disruptions experienced globally within the last few years such as those labeled as the container crisis\, the chip crisis\, the Covid-19 pandemic crisis\, etc. further reminded everyone the importance of effective supply chain management. As it is critical for all industries\, the topic has some specific peculiarities when we focus on tightly controlled and highly technical aerospace\, space\, defense\, and industrial markets. \nHow do companies operating in highly technical and tightly controlled industrial markets manage their supply chains? What are the key external factors and how do they come into consideration? What are the key traits that they would be looking for in selecting key supplier partners? How do they find sources to supply these key/critical technologies and how do they manage those suppliers? How do they attract customers and how does this impact their operations? What is the impact of advancements in manufacturing technology\, digitalization\, cybersecurity\, environmental and societal concerns on supply chain designs? \nOur highly experienced executive speaker will delve into the world of such industries and provide valuable insights in understanding the dynamics of global supply chains through the lens of hi-tech and tightly controlled industries. \nThis is a free webinar\, but registrationis required.

SUMMARY:MSI Consortium - Diversity\, Equity and Inclusion in Teaching IB
DESCRIPTION:Diversity\, equality\, and inclusivity (DEI) concepts are gaining a critical role in teaching. DEI is particularly topical for International Business (IB) studies that are explicitly interested in managing and benefiting from various market\, firm\, and individual differences. But how to ensure that diversity goes hand in hand with equality and inclusion in IB teaching methods and content? \nThe webinar will take a critical view on DEI in IB education discussing inclusive teaching practices\, diverse materials to be adopted in the classroom\, and teaching DEI as a topic in IB programs. The webinar takes a broad view on DEI (considers diverse abilities\, socio-economic status\, religion\, age\, sexual orientation\, etc.) and therefore will go beyond traditional diversity dimensions such as gender or race. \nThe webinar will shed light on some simple ways of putting DEI principles into practice when teaching IB and DEI topics in IB programs. Moreover\, webinar will explain how DEI issues link with the social sustainability and the pressing need to adopt Sustainable Development Goals in the IB curriculum. \nThis is a free webinar\, but registration is required.

SUMMARY:MSI Consortium - Multinationals’ Continued Strive for Local Relevance in an Era of Disruption
DESCRIPTION:A new world order is in place. Globalization is taking a different turn and evolving further. Businesses operate in a deeply interconnected yet polarized world\, facing disruptions at multiple levels. Local relevance is one of the pillars for companies to maintain resilience and to thrive during times of turbulence. \nHow do multinationals win with local consumers\, customers and stakeholders? What are some of the critical enablers for success in the face of a VUCA environment and scarcity of resources? Where do you centralize and how much do you localize to create scale and maintain focus? What is the impact of talent\, organizational structure and culture to drive global scale and local relevance? \nTodays radical change in context requires us to review and refresh past learnings on some of the questions which have been discussed for decades. Recycling our knowledge might be helpful as we design the next phase of global business where the dichotomy of local and global is becoming both blurred and further contrasted. \nKey take-aways: \n Gain insights into how multinationals operate in local settings \n Learn about different approaches in adapting global value propositions \n Obtain learnings on talent\, structure and culture in leading and executing multinational operations

SUMMARY:MSI Consortium - Changing Dynamics of International Competition in Fashion Entrepreneurship: Sustainability as a Game-Changer
DESCRIPTION:FREE and open to all\, but registration is required. Recently\, the nature of entrepreneurial activity has gone through tremendous change with entrepreneurs designing business models challenging even the strongest global players\, and responding to urgent calls such as sustainability. Fashion industry have showcased numerous striking examples of how new ventures change the rules of the game in a well-established industrial domain. This has been traced in the rise of several international brands founded by fashion entrepreneurs (i.e.\, ACBC Shoes\, Reformation\, Everlane\, Patagonia)\, in the increasing number of collaborations between incumbent firms\, new ventures and NGOs (i.e.\, ACBC shoes collaborating with luxury brands like Missoni and Chloe\, Gucci collaborating with Wordrise and Artolution\, Adidas collaborating with Parley for the Oceans)\, as well as in criticisms towards the current business models of established global brands (i.e.\, fast fashion companies like Zara). \nWith the purpose of providing insight both from the academic domain and practice\, this webinar will present a discussion to highlight following questions: \n– How does a strong orientation towards sustainability transform the playground of big multinationals in the fashion industry? What kind of opportunities have emerged for international new ventures? \n– How do digital technologies change the nature of fashion entrepreneurship and affect the achievement of sustainability-oriented goals? Is technology a part of the problem\, or is it the solution? \n– In the face of these changes\, what are the high priorities on the agenda of practitioners? What are the striking research questions for academics? \nKey take-aways: \n	Hearing about the personal experience of a fashion entrepreneur with international coverage. \n	Gaining a viewpoint on various business model implications of sustainability orientation with a special focus on how entrepreneurs change the face of international competition in the fashion industry. \n	Learning about new research questions and strategies

SUMMARY:MSI Consortium - “Seeds of Growth: How AGCO Built a Global Tractor Powerhouse from Atlanta”
DESCRIPTION:When Martin Richenhagen joined AGCO Corp. in 2004\, it was already a $3 billion publicly traded firm. But sixteen years later\, when he retired from his posts as chairman and CEO\, it was a Fortune 500 powerhouse combining some of the biggest brands in the business of agricultural equipment. With $10 billion in sales\, it doubled in size during his tenure to more than 20\,000 employees around the globe. \nThis extraordinary growth story\, rooted in metro Atlanta\, is linked with Mr. Richenhagens vision to expand aggressively via acquisitions while peering constantly around the corner to see future trends in food and farming. \nKey Takeaways: \n-How multinational corporations should navigate a strategy of growth through acquisitions versus organic sales \n-Lessons on hiring\, training and deploying executives in various emerging and developed markets and across functions\, from management to marketing to manufacturing \n-How leaders can use embrace cultural differences as an advantage rather than a hindrance

SUMMARY:MSI Consortium - Virtual Exchange Projects with International Partners for Career Readiness
DESCRIPTION:A key concern in business education is creating solid and sustained bridges between school and career. Career readiness remains a central focus and challenge. Recent studies by Pew Research points to the lack of preparedness of college graduates for the workplace and the need for novel approaches in what we teach\, and how we teach it\, to address the skills gap. In international business\, partnerships and virtual exchange are increasingly valuable ingredients in developing the skills required of todays global managers. Using selected virtual exchange projects with partners in North and South Africa\, we discuss how global competencies\, cultural awareness\, and international virtual-teaming skills can be imparted as integral aspects of an international business curriculum. The three panelists representing academic and business groups will describe their roles in designing and implementing these collaborative cross-border projects\, their value to different stakeholders\, including students and employers\, and propose ways to assess and sustain these career readiness\, impactful initiatives. \nKey Takeaways \n	Conceiving\, implementing and assessing team-based\, virtual exchange projects\, involving international partners. \n	Leveraging academic-business partnerships to ensure career relevant virtual exchange initiatives for students. \n	Identifying funding sources for signature international business projects.

SUMMARY:MSI Consortium - Revisiting Export Strategy: Research and Practice
DESCRIPTION:Exporting is arguably the most consequential international business (IB) and international marketing (IM) activity undertaken by firms. It is also the backbone of IB initiatives\, with MNCs and other large international firms being among the largest exporters. Recently\, the anti-globalization theme has regained momentum\, especially following the COVID-19 pandemic\, the war in Ukraine\, and subsequent supply chain bottlenecks. These disruptions have demonstrated the importance of exporting and importing not only for finished goods but also commodities. Paradoxically\, as compared to the past\, far less research on exporting topics is published in academic journals lately. Research activity on exporting as an alternative to more involved forms of IB/IM engagement does not appear to have gained much momentum among scholars. Our goal in this webinar is to present exportings role in IB/IM research and practice. We will also discuss how exporting strategy can respond to fundamental shifts in globalization (e.g.\, digitalization\, anti-globalization\, strong dollar)\, and disruptive changes in global climate (e.g.\, politics\, economic\, the pandemic). The webinar will highlight country and company illustrations and will provide various lenses through which scholars and practitioners might approach exporting. \nThe target audiences include academics\, researchers\, and practitioners \nKey Takeaways: \nThe ubiquity and importance of exporting within IM/IB \nResponding to fundamental global shifts and disruptive forces through exporting \nIssues and topics for future export research consideration (areas\, conceptualizations\, and \nmethods) \nTo register click website link

SUMMARY:MSI Consortium - Oceania: IB\, geopolitics and engaging with the ocean of our future
DESCRIPTION:The Pacific Ocean is our planets single biggest feature. If western civilization was shaped by the Mediterranean Sea\, and industrialization and hyper-globalization were marked by the Atlantic Ocean\, it is clear that an important part of our future will play out in the Pacific\, in environmental\, security and economic terms. With the Indo-Pacific becoming a new epicenter of world affairs\, a new kind of 21stcentury Great Game is taking place among global superpowers in the South Pacific. Home to fewer than 13 million inhabitants\, yet covering 15% of the worlds surface\, the South Pacific Island nations have been\, for a long time\, seen as simply a bunch of small remote islands\, marred by the triple tyranny of colonial history\, remoteness and size. Capturing human imagination and sparking geopolitical discourse for centuries\, going back to James Harringtons utopian commonwealth of Oceana (1656)\, the South Pacific remains one of the neglected locations within the international business discipline\, despite its growing security\, economic and environmental relevance. Joined by three experts on and from the region. For additional information\, go to registration site by clicking the website link. \nTime of event is Eastern Time (US and Canada)
