SUMMARY:Authors Amplified Series: Jagdish Sheth’s ‘The Global Rule of Three'
DESCRIPTION:Global Atlanta’s Authors Amplified series highlighting Georgia voices continues with a virtual interview with Dr. Jagdish N. Sheth\, Charles H. Kellstadt Professor of Business at Emory University Goizueta Business School\, and author of the recently released book\, The Global Rule of Three. \nAbout the Book:\nIn our increasingly digital\, mobile\, and global world\, the existing theories of business and economics have lost much of their appeal with the phenomenal rise of Chindia\, the reality of Brexit\, the turmoil caused by the Covid-19 pandemic\, and the seismic shifting of the global center of gravity from west to east. In the area of innovation\, the traditional thinking that a developed country\, often the US\, will come up with the next major innovation\, launch at home first\, and then take it to other markets does not ring true anymore. Similarly\, the world where conglomerates go bargain-hunting for acquisitions in emerging markets has been turned upside-down. \nThis book reveals and illustrates the Global Rule of Three phenomenon\, which stipulates that in competitive markets only three companies (which the authors call “generalists”) can dominate the market. All other players in the market are specialists. Further\, whereas the financial performance of generalists improves as market share increases\, specialist companies see a decrease in financial performance as their market share increases\, as the latter are margin-driven companies. This theory powerfully captures the evolution of global markets and what executives must do to succeed. It is based on empirical analyses of hundreds of markets and industries in the US and globally. Competitive markets evolve in a predictable fashion across industries and geographies\, where every industry goes through a similar lifecycle from beginning to end (or revitalization). From local to regional to national markets\, the last stop in the evolution of markets is going global. The pattern is so consistent that it represents a distinct and natural market structure at every level. The authors offer strategies that generalists and specialist should follow to stay competitive as well as twelve expansion strategies for global companies from emerging markets. \nThis book chronicles this global evolution and provides impactful managerial implications for executives and students of marketing and corporate strategy alike. We’ll also glean insight from Dr. Sheth on what the tenuous ties among what he calls “The New Triad Power” — the U.S.\, India and China — which are facing turbulent period in their relations.  \nSpeaker Bio:\nJagdish N. Sheth\, Charles H. Kellstadt Professor of Business\, Goizueta Business School\, Emory University. He is globally known for his scholarly contributions to consumer behavior\, relationship marketing\, competitive strategy\, and geopolitical analysis. Over 50 years of experience in teaching and research at the University of Southern California\, the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign\, Columbia University\, MIT\, and Emory. \nDr. Sheth is a recipient of the 2020 Padma Bhushan Award for literature and education\, one of the highest civilian awards given by the Government of India. He is a Fellow of the Academy of International Business (AIB); the Association of Consumer Research (ACR); the American Psychological Association (APA); and the American Marketing Association (AMA). He is a Distinguished Fellow of the Academy of Marketing Science (AMS) and the International Engineering Consortium. He is the recipient of all four top awards given by the American Marketing Association (AMA). Professor Sheth has been an advisor to numerous corporations all over the world. He has authored or co-authored more than three hundred papers and numerous books. \nDr. Sheth is the Founder of the Center for Telecommunications Management (CTM) at the University of Southern California (USC)\, Founder and Chairman of India\, China\, and America (ICA) Institute which analyzes the trilateral relationship and its impact on geopolitics\, security\, trade\, and investment\, and the Founder and Chairman of the Academy of Indian Marketing (AIM) which supports research and scholarship among Indian scholars in marketing and management. He and his wife\, Madhu Sheth\, have established the Sheth Family Foundation to support several charities in India and in the United States and the Madhuri and Jagdish Sheth Foundation to support scholars and scholarship in the field of marketing. The Sheth Foundation supports the AMA-Sheth Foundation Doctoral Consortium\, hosted annually by different universities. Finally\, Professor Sheth is the Founder and Chairman of the Academy of Indian Marketing (AIM) which supports research and scholarship among Indian scholars in marketing and management. \nAbout the Series\nGeorgia’s deep pool of international expertise is sometimes hidden in the ivory towers of academia or overshadowed by looming national figures. Sought-after thought leaders sometimes shine globally while being ignored in their own backyard. \nWith Authors Amplified\, a monthly series of book talks open to subscribers and the public\, Global Atlanta showcases authoritative local voices in foreign affairs and international business while highlighting the state’s intellectual contributions to important global conversations. \nThe Authors Amplified series is presented by the Atlanta Global Studies Center (AGSC)\, a partnership of Georgia Institute of Technology and Georgia State University\, funded in part by a US Department of Education Title VI National Resource Center grant\, with a mission to empower the metro region’s global agenda. \n \n

SUMMARY:Global Security & International Relations: Israel's (new) Political Landscape
DESCRIPTION:Join the World Affairs Council of Atlanta on July 15 at 12 PM ET as Tal Schneider\, Political Correspondent for the Times of Israel and its former Washington correspondent shares her insights and analysis on Israel Post-Netanyahu. Anat Sultan-Dadon\, the Consul General of Israel in the Southeast United States\, will introduce the program. \nIn June\, a coalition of eight parties formed a razor-thin majority\, installing Naftali Bennett as Prime Minister and ending Benjamin Netanyahu’s 12-year stretch as Israel’s PM. The governing coalition ranges from the far right to the small Arab List and agreed to a novel agreement to switch the prime minister position — from Naftali Bennett to Yair Lapid — halfway its four-year term. \nOf course\, Benjamin Netanyahu now in opposition stills leads the largest party in the Knesset (29 seats) and is paring no effort to topple the new government. \nTal Schneider will help unpack Israel’s complicated politics\, what it means for Israel\, the region\, and the United States. \nSpeakers\nTal Schneider \nPolitical Correspondent for the Times of Israel \n  \n  \n  \nAnat Sultan-Dadon \nConsul General of Israel in the Southeast United States \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:Author Talk: Vanessa Riley
DESCRIPTION:A remarkable\, sweeping historical novel based on the incredible true-life story of Dorothy Kirwan Thomas\, a free woman of color who rose from slavery to become one of the wealthiest and most powerful landowners in the colonial West Indies. \nGet Tickets\nTickets are $10 for not-yet-members\, $5 for members\, free for Insiders. \nBorn into slavery on the tiny Caribbean island of Montserrat\, Doll bought her freedom—and that of her sister and her mother—from her Irish planter father and built a legacy of wealth and power as an entrepreneur\, merchant\, hotelier\, and planter that extended from the marketplaces and sugar plantations of Dominica and Barbados to a glittering luxury hotel in Demerara on the South American continent.\nVanessa Riley’s novel brings Doll to vivid life as she rises above the harsh realities of slavery and colonialism by working the system and leveraging the competing attentions of the men in her life: a restless shipping merchant\, Joseph Thomas; a wealthy planter hiding a secret\, John Coseveldt Cells; and a roguish naval captain who will later become King William IV of England. \nFrom the bustling port cities of the West Indies to the forbidding drawing rooms of London’s elite\, Island Queen is a sweeping epic of an adventurer and a survivor who answered to no one but herself as she rose to power and autonomy against all odds\, defying rigid eighteenth-century morality and the oppression of women as well as people of color. It is an unforgettable portrait of a true larger-than-life woman who made her mark on history. \nAbout the Author\nIn addition to being a novelist\, Vanessa Riley holds a doctorate in mechanical engineering and a master’s in industrial engineering and engineering management from Stanford University. She also earned BS and MS in mechanical engineering from Penn State University.  She currently juggles mothering a teen\, cooking for her military-man husband\, and speaking at women’s and STEM events. She loves baking her Trinidadian grandma’s cake recipes and collecting Irish crochet lace. You can catch her writing from the comfort of her porch in Georgia\, with a cup of Earl Grey tea. Riley lives in Atlanta. \nPromotional language provided by the publisher.
