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)
