SUMMARY:Europe's Nuclear Future: Rethinking Transatlantic Deterrence
DESCRIPTION:Join the Foreign Policy Research Institute’s Eurasia Program for a discussion on Europe’s new nuclear deterrence. \n\n\n\nOn March 2\, French President Emmanuel Macron delivered a landmark update to France’s nuclear strategy\, announcing that France would increase its nuclear arsenal and deepen cooperation with Germany and other European states to deter attacks. The updated nuclear doctrine includes joint exercises between French nuclear forces and the forces of other European states and temporarily moving some nuclear warheads outside of France. While Macron did not explicitly commit to extended deterrence\, a pledge to extend a nuclear umbrella over its allies\, this represents a significant doctrinal change to French nuclear policy. \n\n\n\nThis announcement reflects dramatic shifts in the Transatlantic security relationship as the United States continues to retreat from its role as Europe’s primary security provider and Europe moves towards “strategic autonomy.” Join Emily Holland for a conversation with Astrid Chevreuil and Dr. Alex Bollfrass on the implications of this announcement for France\, Germany\, and European and transatlantic security. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegister\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n	From the archive:

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 \n\n\n	From the archive:

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. McIntyre\, on his book\, Multinational Enterprises and the Challenge of Sustainable Development\, in a podcast-style interview that will be broadcast live. \nAbout the book (text from the publisher):\n\nTransnational corporations play a role in the design\, diffusion\, and consolidation of sustainable development in the context of globalization and multinational firms. 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. McIntyre is founding Director of the Georgia Tech Scheller College of Business Center for International Business Education and Research (CIBER)\, professor of management (strategy area) with a courtesy appointment in international relations in the Georgia Tech’s Sam Nunn School of International Affairs.

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 \n \n\n\n	From the archive:

SUMMARY:Black History Month 2023 - The Power of Storytelling (Virtual Book Discussion)
DESCRIPTION:Every February\, Black History Month recognizes the accomplishments\, contributions\, and legacy of African Americans in U.S. history and society\, from activists and civil rights pioneers to leaders in business\, politics\, academia\, culture\, and more. \nThe Consulate General of Switzerland in Atlanta regularly engages in the Black History Month celebrations to honor the importance of African Americans in shaping the American nation. This year\, we want to highlight the transformative power of storytelling and its potential to raise awareness and bring about change for a social cause. Throughout human history\, stories and narratives have been an essential way of connecting with an audience and appealing to hearts and minds. They enable us to understand a different experience of the world\, and thus enhance our empathy. In the struggle for social justice and equality\, storytelling was\, and still is\, of particular importance to the history of Black people. \nIn this context\, the Consulate General of Switzerland in Atlanta organizes a virtual book discussion on the book “I will be different every time: Black Women in Biel” on February 23\, 2023\, 1pm-2pm EST. \nIn collaboration with the Auburn Avenue Research Library\, the Consulate General of Switzerland in Atlanta will virtually host Fork Burke (Editor) and Myriam Diarra (Editor) who\, in conversation with Dr. Stephane Dunn\, will discuss their latest publication “I will be different every time: Black Women in Biel”. They will provide an insider look into their book which explores the historical and contemporary lived experiences of Black women from the town of Biel/Bienne [Switzerland]. In addition to shedding light on this extraordinary part of the global Black diaspora\, Fork Burke and Myriam Diarra will speak on the importance of storytelling and share ideas on the legacy writing process that preserves the histories of the Black diaspora for future generations. \n\n\n	From the archive:

For many years he was a journalist for BBC News\, working as a correspondent in Beijing\, as well as in Indonesia and the United States. He lives in Takoma Park\, Maryland. \n\n\n	From the archive:

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 \n\n\n	From the archive:
