SUMMARY:EXIM Bank: Keeping America Competitive in an Intense Global Environment
DESCRIPTION:Join ACIR as Reta Jo Lewis\, EXIM’s President and Chair\, explores the topic “EXIM Bank: Keeping America Competitive in an Intense Global Environment “. \nEXIM Bank is an independent federal agency that is ostensibly recognized as America’s official export credit agency\, but it is more than that. Aside from contributing to U.S. economic growth\, it is also an important force that is strengthening the capacity of American companies to effectively compete with an aggressive Chinese state supported machine that seeks to undermine American economic dominance around the globe.  In essence\, EXIM Bank\, through strategic loans\, is essentially engaged in an asymmetrical economic war with China in the “Gray Zone”. It is an economic warrior and is needed more than ever in the face of a determined adversary. \nAbout Reta Jo Lewis\, Esq. \nOn February 9\, 2022\, the U.S. Senate confirmed Reta Jo Lewis as EXIM’s President and Chair of the Board of Directors. Chair Lewis was sworn in by Vice President of the United States\, Kamala Harris\, on February 16\, 2022. Ms. Lewis is a senior executive with over 25 years of leadership experience in international affairs\, legal\, public policy\, business and regulatory affairs\, and subnational diplomacy. \nMs. Lewis was most recently a Senior Fellow and Director of Congressional Affairs at the German Marshall Fund of the United States.

DESCRIPTION:Join Georgia State University CIBER for their International Business Webinar Series\, “Changing Dynamics of International Competition in Fashion Entrepreneurship: Sustainability as a Game-Changer”.\n\nRecently\, 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).\n\nWith the purpose of providing insight both from the academic domain and practice\, this webinar will present a discussion to highlight following questions:\n\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?\nHow 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?\nIn the face of these changes\, what are the high priorities on the agenda of practitioners? What are the striking research questions for academics?\n\n\nKey take-aways:\n\nHearing about the personal experience of a fashion entrepreneur with international coverage.\nGaining 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.\nLearning about new research questions and strategies

SUMMARY:International Business Webinar Series: "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.

What are some of the critical enablers for success in the face of a VUCA environment and scarcity of resources?

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
