Symposium Leading Sustainability Transitions: An International Business Perspective
The only way to make impact is by making significant and well-informed changes. The HAN International School of Business takes the lead by installing Prof. Anna Sabidussi and officially opening the Center of International Business Research, a research center dedicated to sustainability transitions.
Thursday, June 22, 2023 marks the day in which companies, alumni, academic partners, students, researchers and lecturers together explore solutions to shift towards a more sustainable future.
Be there: inauguration, panel discussion, hackathon and world café: Sustainability transitions from different perspectives
The morning focuses on discussing the trends in sustainability transitions via the inaugural speech of Prof. Anna Sabidussi and a panel discussion with business leaders. These frontrunners in sustainability transitions will share their experience and insights.
In the afternoon participants will actively translate these trends into practical guidelines, simultaneously via a Hackathon for students and recently graduated alumni and a World Café for the business partners, academic partners, senior alumni and researchers.
During the symposium, we will address sustainability transitions at various levels:
These are directly related to the research lines defined by the chair:
- Intercultural Dynamics & Entrepreneurial Mindsets,
- Behavioral Change in Global Organizations,
- Transformations Across Business Ecosystems,
- and Paradigm Shifts in Finance & Economics.
Overall these lines guide international businesses in the necessary transitions towards sustainability. They integrate the individual, the organizational, the ecosystem and the economic system level: building on the synergies among these levels is essential for promoting sustainability and ensuring a more equitable and prosperous future for all.
