SUMMARY:Webinar: Doing Business in Emerging Markets
DESCRIPTION:Featuring:\nDr. S. Tamer Cavusgil\, Georgia State University\nDr. Pervez Ghauri\, University of Birmingham\nDr. Leigh Anne Liu\, Georgia State University \nModerated by:\nSebastian van der Vegt\, Untold Communications \nEmerging markets\, rapidly transforming and dynamic economies\, have been the focus of numerous firms in search of growth opportunities over the past four decades. These economies share such common phases of evolution as rapid economic transformation\, market liberalization\, and impressive gains in competitiveness — often accompanied by significant social and political change and urbanization. \nWhile emerging markets\, along with the rest of the world\, experienced one of the most devastating disruptions caused by the global pandemic of 2020\, the phenomenon of rapid economic transformation and the story of emerging markets remain very relevant. Despite having to endure economic shocks\, emerging markets continue to be highly dynamic and full of market potential. \nIn this conversation\, professors Cavusgil\, Ghauri\, and Liu will provide an update on the current state of emerging market growth and transformation. They will also offer their expectations of their future evolution. What policy measures need to be in place to support emerging market multinationals? How should advanced economy multinationals adjust? In the face of global competition for resources and capital\, will emerging market firms be able to deploy new technologies\, sustainable use of resources and collaborative business models? \nHaving just completed the 3rd edition of their book\, Doing Business in Emerging Markets\, Cavusgil\, Ghauri and Liu will also discuss the features in the new edition. Of interest to both practitioners and students of international business\, readers will find a highly analytical treatment of these growth economies in this edition of the book. New to this edition are 13 original cases written by expert scholars on emerging markets. Each case provides a different country context and managerial set of challenges to be analyzed. \nThis webinar will be moderated by Sebastian van der Vegt\, Untold Communications\, who will raise questions of contemporary interest to practitioners and scholars of emerging markets. \nKey takeaways: \n\nWhat is the current significance of emerging markets to the global economy?\nWhat does the future hold for emerging markets?\nWhat are pressing questions for scholarly research on emerging markets?\n\n  \nThis program is FREE and open to all\, but registration is required. \n\n\n	From the archive:

SUMMARY:Lomir Redn Yiddish!
DESCRIPTION:Join Goethe-Zentrum Atlanta Sunday\, November 8 via Zoom to learn about the Germanic language spoken by the Jewish community around the world: Yiddish! This event is partnered with The William Breman Jewish Heritage Museum in Atlanta. You can learn more about the museum and its programming on its website. \nMany Yiddish words have been adopted by other languages globally and you may even realize you’ve spoken some Yiddish your entire life. Ever called someone a Klutz? Or eaten a delicious bagel? Although there may be much on the surface we are already familiar with\, there is also the deeper and tragic history of how Yiddish nearly went extinct during the Holocaust\, and that even today it is in danger of being forgotten. \nIncredible host Dr. Liliane Kshensky Baxter will share with participants her experience growing up in a Yiddish-speaking household\, the unique linguistics of Yiddish and its connection to German\, and highlight the perseverance of Yiddish throughout history. \nThe virtual event is free to attend\, but attendees must register in advance to receive the Zoom login information. \n\n\n	From the archive:

SUMMARY:Webinar: The Student Goal Centered Syllabus© — A new tool to Enhance Student Engagement and Learning
DESCRIPTION:Over 75% of students report higher levels of anxiety\, depression and stress due to the global corona-virus pandemic. \nThis is also affecting instructors as campuses open back up for an unprecedented blend of remote and in person learning. These\, and other factors\, are negatively impacting student engagement and learning. \nWe note that there is an unfortunate gap between what students are taught in college and what they are expected to know to be career ready post-graduation. \nThus\, how can we help our students through these challenging times? \nIn this webinar\, we share tips and tools on how instructors can become more compassionate and effective educators. As we begin to rethink how we connect with our students\, there is an opportunity to build greater rapport by understanding their career goals\, their need for the development of both hard and soft skills\, and by placing greater focus on relevant course content. \nWe present techniques on how each of us can make a positive and inspiring first-impression with our students by utilizing the innovative Student Goal Centered Syllabus©. \nThe Student Goal Centered Syllabus© has been designed to cultivate a more collaborative\, relationship-building environment. It links student career goals to the course Learning Outcomes. It utilizes a different tone\, uses first and second person language\, and utilizes a unique visual format appealing to a new generation of students. \nAt the end of this program\, participants will be able to: \nIdentify hard skills and soft skills that are not currently emphasized in many business syllabus and classes.\nDiscover student career goals and link them to the course Learning Outcomes and the skills desired by today’s employers.\nUtilize the Student Goal Centered Syllabus© to increase student interest\, engagement\, and learning. \n\n\n	From the archive:

SUMMARY:How to Engage Our Youth and Educators in International Education and Collaboration in a COVID-19 World
DESCRIPTION:The world has been turned upside down by the global pandemic and we have been asked to stay home and safe plus focus on local efforts to minimize the effects of COVID-19. At the same time\, the global nature of the pandemic has shown us that we must work together to develop and launch a vaccine and learn from each other about the prevention and management of a pandemic. Furthermore\, we are experiencing protests calling for racial equality while others are pushing for putting nationalistic needs first. With a global pandemic plus social and economic unrest around us\, what will we teach the students in Georgia about history\, biology\, social justice\, and globalization? \nHow do we ensure that educational institutions have access to faculty and students from all over the world and global collaboration and engagement continue? What are the challenges and opportunities of global understanding and learning under the current travel\, visa\, and political restrictions? \nWhat are the current challenges and opportunities in international education in Georgia’s school system? Is education the answer to world peace and a pandemic-free world? These questions and much more will be answered during this webinar. \n\n\n	From the archive:
