SUMMARY:Devising Successful U.S. Foreign Policies: Lessons from the Ukraine Crisis and the Middle East
DESCRIPTION:The elements of a nation state’s stated foreign policy goals\, on its surface\, may appear quite simple to the outside world; however\, complex issues and challenges reviewed during the formulation period can generate intense internal debate. A greater challenge? Determining its success or failure. \nJoin ACIR to hear from a former American ambassador to the Middle East as he examines what foreign policy lessons may be learned from an analysis of the current Ukraine conflict and the historical Abraham Accords in the Middle East; a journey well worth taking. \n  \nAbout Ambassador (ret.)

Silverman is a retired member of the Senior Foreign Service; his last posting in a 35-year U.S. State Department career was as the U.S. Ambassador to Kuwait until October 2019.

SUMMARY:“Changing Dynamics of International Competition in Fashion Entrepreneurship: Sustainability as a Game-Changer”
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. 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
