SUMMARY:Secure Act 2.0 Seminar - Rethinking Retirement Tax Planning for 2023 and Beyond
DESCRIPTION:Join the Japan America Society of Georgia for Secure Act 2.0 Seminar – Rethinking Retirement Tax Planning for 2023 and Beyond. \nSECURE ACT 2.0 was signed into law in December 2022 changing the Required Minimum Distribution (RMD) age to 73 (in 2023)\, then to 75 (in 2033) which affects people born 1951 and after. There are many small changes in this law and therefore\, you need to plan at least 10 years before your retirement. By attending this workshop\, you will learn how the new law affects your retirement picture and what you can do now to take advantage of tax planning for the future.

SUMMARY:International Business Webinar Series -- Interview With Ravi Saligram\, CEO of Newell Brands: Learning and Leading Through a Global Turnaround
DESCRIPTION:When Ravi Saligram joined Newell Brands in 2019 as President & CEO\, the company was experiencing poor performance\, low employee engagement and excessive complexity. In 2020\, Ravi and the world-class leadership team he’d built were also faced with leading through the unexpected and monumental issues presented by COVID. \nDespite these challenges\, employee engagement scores increased significantly\, and the company’s turnaround efforts persisted.\nWhile Ravi announced his May retirement earlier this year\, there’s no doubt the company has strengthened during his tenure. Complexity and overhead costs have been reduced; Project Ovid\, a multi-year initiative consolidating 23 unique supply chains into one\, was successfully implemented; a new innovation operating model was introduced\, and innovations were launched that leveraged COVID trends; automation has been scaled and the company has best-in-class productivity and safety records. Notably\, Newell Brands was named one of Fortune’s Most Admired Companies in 2022 and 2023\, a recognition it had not previously received. \nRavi is a three-time public CEO\, also having led OfficeMax\, Inc. and Ritchie Brothers. Despite arriving in the United States with less than $20 in his pocket\, he earned an MBA from the University of Michigan\, Ann Arbor\, and has lived in six countries and worked in many more during his nearly 40-year career\, which began at Leo Burnett in Chicago. \nDuring this webinar\, Ravi will speak with Global Atlanta Managing Editor Trevor Williams and share the following key takeaways:\n• The importance of a people-first approach and how to drive a culture of engagement\n• How companies can foster diversity\, inclusion and belonging and be a force for good\n• The necessity of cross-cultural competency and how international experience shapes perspective

SUMMARY:Global Trade Finance: What it is\, how it works and the benefits
DESCRIPTION:International trade is the driving force of the world economy\, providing goods and services across borders to foster wealth and prosperity throughout the globe.

Mitigating supply chain disruption\, ensuring business continuity\, and assurance of price and service are vital to safeguarding long-term business viability and remaining competitive and profitable. Learn how to do so from Regions Bank Senior Vice President of the Global Trade Finance Group Thomas Matthias\, U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) Export Finance Manager David Leonard\, and U.S. Export-Import Bank Regional Director Susan Kintanar. \nTopics to include: \n\nSupply chain financing\nIdentifying payment methods\nAccessing working capital\nStrategies to safeguard your supply chain\nBuilding resilient supply chain models

SUMMARY:Author Talk: John McIntyre's 'Multinational Enterprises and the Challenge of Sustainable Development'
DESCRIPTION:Join Global Atlanta for the next interview in “Authors Amplified”\, a series of virtual book talks in partnership with the Atlanta Global Studies Center spotlighting Georgia voices on international issues.  \nWe’ll be chatting with Professor & Executive Director of Georgia Tech CIBER\, John R.

In this timely book European and American contributors analyze this role and explore the complex and dynamic phenomena of economic\, political\, cultural and legal interactions involved. \nIn order to understand this interplay\, the authors examine the practices and organizational behaviors used by multinationals in sustainable development. They also discuss the evolving concepts that multinationals hold about sustainable development and corporate social responsibility and how companies reaffirm these philosophies through their strategy and organizational practices such as human resource development\, marketing\, supply chain\, information technology\, law\, and communications. The authors outline an approach to help identify the key details and motivating factors in decision making. \nScholars\, students and policy analysts in the fields of business\, ecology\, economic development and developmental economics and consultants focusing in corporate planning and strategic analysis will find this original collection of great value. \nAbout the author: \nDr.  John R.

SUMMARY:International Business Webinar Series: 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. \nKey takeaways: \n1. Is storytelling a dying art in international business education in a post-truth world of virtual reality\, artificial intelligence\, and misinformation? \n2. In a world of “infotainment” and the 15-second attention span\, do all educators need to be master storytellers? You may also be a fictional writer\, but not all of us are. What advice and tips would we give to IB educators who want to leverage storytelling in their teaching and even research? \n3. New Zealand punches well about its weight in the world\, from Jacinda Ardern to Taika Waititi\, to Sir Peter Jackson and Professor Linda Tuhiwai Smith. What role does storytelling play in that success? Do all countries have storytelling agencies? What prompted New Zealand to lean so heavily into storytelling
