SUMMARY:MSI Consortium - The Power of Storytelling in International Business Education and Policymaking
DESCRIPTION:Storytelling can be defined as the “intra-play of dominant narratives … with ontological webs of lower level living stories that provide sense making currency for stakeholders” (Haley & Boje\, 2014\, p. 1116). Storytelling can be leveraged beyond marketing and communication. For example\, storytelling is extremely powerful as a strategic management tool. Storytelling is also very effective in supporting organizational change management\, facilitating internationalization and addressing sustainability. Storytelling\, as a strategic tool\, can facilitate various types of change processes\, attract and help manage various kinds of external resources\, and play an active role in driving collective agency and identification for social and political issues. This session is a discussion with two expert storytellers.

SUMMARY:MSI Consortium - International Connectedness and MNE Strategy
DESCRIPTION:Description\nSpatial transaction costs — the cost of undertaking business and economic activities over geographic space — have been declining since the beginning of the industrial revolution mainly through technological advances. The ocean-going sailing ship\, railroads\, the telegraph\, the telephone\, and fax machines all caused spatial transactions costs to fall. However\, with the advent of the internet about 1990\, these declines have become exponential. \nMNE strategies have leveraged these technologies to create increasing wealth\, so the average levels of wealth around the globe have risen. Yet\, these MNE global strategies also feature a dark side. \nKEY TAKEAWAYS:\n• In the 20th-century\, birth geography determined income and welfare. In the 21st-century connected knowledge economy\, human capital determines income and welfare. Low human capital workers in rich countries have seen catastrophic declines in income and welfare. \n• Global connectedness often generates local disconnectedness which is the basis for rising inequality that fuels populism. \n• Global connectedness is often strongly driven by ethnic ties. \nThis webinar is FREE\, but registration is required. Zoom details will be sent to participants.

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 registration is required.

SUMMARY:MSI Consortium - Multinationals’ Continued Strive for Local Relevance in an Era of Disruption
DESCRIPTION:Date\nThursday\, February 2\, 2023 11:00 AM – 12:00 PM \nDescription\nA 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? \nToday’s 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 \nLocation\nOnline

SUMMARY:MSI Consortium - Changing Dynamics of International Competition in Fashion Entrepreneurship: Sustainability as a Game-Changer
DESCRIPTION:Date\nThursday\, January 26\, 2023 11:00 AM – 12:00 PM \nDescription\nFREE 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\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\n\nLocation\nvirtual

SUMMARY:MSI Consortium - “Seeds of Growth: How AGCO Built a Global Tractor Powerhouse from Atlanta
DESCRIPTION:Date\nThursday\, December 1\, 2022 11:00 AM – 12:00 PM \nDescription\nWhen 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. Richenhagen’s 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:Date\nThursday\, November 17\, 2022 11:00 AM – 12:00 PM \nDescription\nA 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 today’s 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\nConceiving\, implementing and assessing team-based\, virtual exchange projects\, involving international partners.\nLeveraging academic-business partnerships to ensure career relevant virtual exchange initiatives for students.\nIdentifying 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 exporting’s 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 methods) \nTo register click website link

SUMMARY:MSI Consortium - Oceania: IB\, geopolitics and engaging with the ocean of our future
DESCRIPTION:Description\nThe Pacific Ocean is our planet’s 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 21st century “Great Game” is taking place among global superpowers in the South Pacific. Home to fewer than 13 million inhabitants\, yet covering 15% of the world’s 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 Harrington’s 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)
