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: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.
