Navigating Uncertainty and Opportunities Amidst Disruptions

Description

In light of the tectonic changes we are facing — including the widening income and wealth inequality gap within and between nations, the challenges brought by the pandemic to global healthcare systems, the rising inflation and declining economic growth, the diminishing social mobility, the growing de-globalization trend and the myriad of disruptions brought by technology — it is vital for business leaders to understand and tackle uncertainty and find opportunities within it. Business schools have a duty to cultivate global leaders who can successfully navigate such disruptions while making a positive impact on the world. This webinar, hosted by Chinese business school CKGSB, will shed light on the responsibility and role of business schools to that end.

Topics:

• What's the role of business schools in the era of uncertainty?
• How to forge a path to sustainable development leveraging advanced technology?
• How can schools better prepare current and future leaders to identify opportunities amidst declining economic growth?
• What has the pandemic taught us and how can we apply these lessons?
