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 - What contributes to longevity in global business? Lessons from YKK’s enduring industry leadership
DESCRIPTION:Rarely does a company sustain its global industry leadership for more than a few decades\, and most that do so are very well-known global brands.

It has remained relevant and preserved its leadership globally and in the U.S. market. \nWhat enables YKK to do so well for so long? Join us for a conversation with senior leadership of YKK North America and learn how YKK has beaten the odds\, and provides a possible roadmap for other companies looking to sustain a viable\, profitable business in international markets. \nKey takeaways: \n	Learn about key factors that contributed to YKKs longevity \n	Gain insights from YKKs senior leaders as to future challenges and prospects \n	Learn about implications for other firms seeking persistent success in global business \nClick the website link for registration information
