Kindly see attached the invitation for our next UN PRME Working Group on Business for Peace's webinar on "Thriving in Uncertainty and Crisis: Management Lessons from Companies in Conflict Zones," to be held on Thursday, December 9th at 9:00 EST.
We look forward to welcoming our founding co-chair, John E. Katsos, JD, MBA, Associate Professor of Business Law, Business Ethics and Social Responsibility School of Business Administration (SBA), American University of Sharjah, Research Affiliate Centre for Leadership, Ethics, and Organization (CLEO), Queen's University Belfast, Visiting Research Fellow Centre for Development and the Environment (SUM), the University of Oslo and Jason Miklian, Senior Researcher at the University of Oslo Centre for Development and the Environment (SUM).
Webinar topic: Three long-term trends - globalization, climate change, and increasing social inequalities - are simultaneously converging to create an era of global uncertainty and crisis. As one crisis ends, another seems to begin without an end in sight. How can companies manage this "new normal"? Research on businesses in conflict zones can provide needed answers. In conflict zones, crisis and uncertainty are part of a regular day that destroys many businesses, while others not only survive but thrive. This webinar will examine the lessons companies globally can learn from their counterparts in conflict zones based on decades of research in the business for peace (B4P) field.
