SUMMARY:International Business Webinar Series: Using GlobeSmart™ to Enhance International Business Teaching
DESCRIPTION:Featuring:\nDr. P. Roberto Garcia\, Indiana University\n\nThe reality of business education today is that many faculty members are facing the necessity to address the impact of culture on individuals and firms operating in a very globally dispersed and interconnected work world. Thus\, business professors today need to be familiar with the tools and techniques available to supplement our knowledge and training on the topic of culture. This session will demonstrate Dr. P. Roberto Garcia’s approach to using GlobeSmart which has been developed over a long span at Indiana University’s Kelley School of Business with Undergraduate\, MBA\, and Online MBA students. Students benefit by having more faculty using a more engaging and stimulating teaching tool in their international business courses. Instructors benefit by the possibility of incorporating GlobeSmart\, along with assignment tips\, for a more effective and enjoyable teaching experience.\n\nKey takeaways:\n\nDemonstration of how to use GlobeSmart to deliver content and create enhanced student interactions.\nTips and examples of how to structure relevant assignments.\nFree access to GlobeSmart for 1-month in order to fully try out the tool.\n\n\nGlobeSmart is a powerful online resource to help access a number of cultural research\, teaching\, and training tools. GlobeSmart addresses the greatest cause of difficulties in global business transactions – the lack of “cultural awareness skills” for relating successfully with counterparts from other countries. GlobeSmart provides information on how to work with counterparts from almost 100 countries\, answering questions such as:\n\nWhat are China’s core values and implications for business?\nWhat is the most effective leadership style in India?\nHow should I tailor my presentation for a Japanese audience?\nHow can we effectively manage change across our operations in France?\nHow can we motivate innovation in Germany?\nWhat are pitfalls to transferring knowledge in Brazil?\nHow do Mexicans generally perceive hierarchy in business interactions?\nHow should I prepare for travel to Thailand?\nHow important are status and group orientation in S. Korea?\nWhat “small talk” topics should I use and/or avoid in Turkey?

SUMMARY:“What if I Am a Woman?” Maria W. Stewart and Black Feminist Activism
DESCRIPTION:You are invited to the third event of Oglethorpe’s Year of Suffrage\, a two-semester program of events celebrating the centennial of the passage of the 19th Amendment granting women the right to vote. \nDr. Rhana Gittens\, OU Assistant Professor of Communication Studies\, will offer “’What if I Am a Woman?’ Maria W. Stewart and Black Feminist Activism” on Wednesday\, October 21st at 6 PM via Zoom (https://zoom.us/j/96165399413). \n  \n  \nFor African American women the movement for suffrage was entangled with the necessities to be humanized and free. Black women\, like Maria W. Stewart\, allied with abolitionists to challenge oppression\, paving the way for all women speakers. Stewart rose to the height of her career in 1832 when she became the first documented American-born woman (Black or White) to present a political oration before a mixed audience of men and women. In this talk\, Dr. Rhana Gittens reviews Stewart’s two essays\, and four speeches\, which ultimately convey the intersectional identity of being African\, American\, and woman. Embodying her Christian beliefs and a spirit of defiance\, Stewart pleads for justice and righteousness and most urgently affirms her right to speak politically as a woman.

Prepare to get inspired! \nThe United Nations Sustainable Development Goals emphasize the full participation of women and girls in society as imperative to a more peaceful and prosperous world. The UN highlights the importance of developing effective partnerships\, including international partnerships\, to reach such goals. Specifically\, goal four (Quality Education) calls for eliminating gender disparities in education and ensuring equal access to all levels of education. Goal five (Gender Equality) calls for women’s full and effective participation in decision-making at all levels\, including equal access to leadership roles\, in political\, economic\, and public life. Goal eight (Decent Work and Economic Growth) focuses on the promotion of continued\, inclusive\, and sustainable\neconomic growth\, full and productive employment\, and decent work for all. Finally\, goal ten (Reduced Inequalities) focuses on reducing inequality\, which includes the elimination of discriminatory laws\, policies and practices\, and the promotion of appropriate legislation\, policies and practices that build effective\, accountable\, and inclusive institutions at all levels. The panelists we have brought together have worked tirelessly to achieve such goals throughout their lives and in the leadership roles they occupy. \nThis event is free and open to the public. \nInfo about the virtual exchange project\nHassan II University of Casablanca and Kennesaw State University’s Women’s Leadership Virtual Exchange engages students from both universities in a unique cross-cultural virtual exchange experience focused on better understanding women’s leadership through research\, analysis\, and digital storytelling. This project provides participating students with a better understanding of the challenges and obstacles that exist for increasing women’s rights and leadership roles in society. Students not only gain a learning experience around the topic of women’s leadership\, but they also advance their abilities to work in international and intercultural contexts as they develop the intercultural competency needed in today’s global society. \nThe Stevens Initiative is sponsored by the U.S. Department of State\, with funding provided by the U.S. Government\, and is administered by the Aspen Institute. It is also supported by the Bezos Family Foundation and the governments of Morocco and the United Arab Emirates.

DESCRIPTION:Bruce Zagaris will present a webinar on: “COPING WITH WORLDWIDE WHITE COLLAR CRIME THREATS: CAN BUSINESSES KEEP UP WITH THE NEW CRIMINAL NETWORKS?” \nAbout the Webinar: \nToday companies and individuals face a host of white-collar crime threats from all over the world.
