SUMMARY:AIB Chapter-SIG Webinar: Keeping IB Curriculum Content Current in Times of Rapid Geopolitical Change
DESCRIPTION:register now\n\nDate & Time: 10 September 2026\, 12:30 UTC (View Local Time) \nHosts: AIB United Kingdom & Ireland Chapter and AIB Teaching & Education Shared Interest Group \nPoint of Contact: Stefan Zagelmeyer (S.Zagelmeyer@manchester.ac.uk) \n\nEvent Overview: International business and management students now operate in a fast-moving\, volatile and contested information environment. Geopolitical disruption\, disinformation\, platform-driven attention cycles and declining trust in public knowledge make it increasingly difficult to separate signal from noise. At the same time\, sanctions\, industrial policy\, technology restrictions\, supply-chain disruption and political risk must often be interpreted in real time\, before academic research has fully caught up. As a result\, keeping IB curricula current and developing students’ information literacy\, including their ability to source\, evaluate\, triangulate and communicate evidence amid competing narratives and contested facts\, have become central educational challenges. \nThis webinar will address both challenges. Andrew Jack\, Global Education Editor at the Financial Times\, will discuss which IB topics now need reframing in response to rapid geopolitical change and introduce FT resources for educators\, including Ask FT\, Professor Picks\, mini cases\, and wider FT coverage\, as practical tools for keeping courses current. He will also compare journalistic and academic sources as forms of evidence and explain how quality control works in professional journalism. The presentation will be followed by a moderated discussion with substantial time for audience questions\, including:\n \n-Which IB topics\, concepts or case logics may now mislead students and therefore need reframing? \n-How can high-quality journalism and curated media resources be used in IB teaching to build capability rather than simply add current examples? \n-How do journalistic and academic sources differ as evidence\, and how should students learn to assess and triangulate them? \n-How can information literacy be embedded and assessed as a core IB curriculum capability? \nThe session is designed as a guest presentation followed by a moderated audience Q&A\, aiming to leave participants with a set of practical\, immediately usable resources and ideas for keeping their IB teaching current and credible. \n\nGUEST SPEAKER \nAndrew Jack is Global Education Editor at the Financial Times\, where he covers education internationally and leads the FT’s free access programmes for schools and universities. He has been with the FT since 1990 and has held senior editorial and reporting roles\, including head of the curated content team\, pharmaceuticals correspondent\, Moscow bureau chief\, Paris correspondent and financial correspondent. He is the author of Inside Putin’s Russia and The French Exception\, and regularly provides commentary for the BBC and other media. \nHOST AND MODERATOR \nStefan Zagelmeyer is Reader in Comparative and International Business at the University of Manchester and Teaching and Education Representative on the AIB UK&I executive board. His related blogpost\, “Navigating Business Information at Speed: Independent Journalism\, Ask FT and Information Literacy in Management Education” \, examines the role of independent\, high-quality journalism as a form of evidence in management education.

SUMMARY:2026 AIB South Asia Workshop Series: Teaching International Business Strategy
DESCRIPTION:visit the 2026 south asia workshop series website\nregister now\n\nDates & Times:\n12 September 2026\, 13:00-15:00 UTC (View Local Time)\n19 September 2026\, 13:00-15:00 UTC (View Local Time) \nRegistration Deadline: 10 September 2026 \nHost: AIB South Asia Chapter \nPoint of Contact: Shankari Chidambaram (aibsac@iimb.ac.in) \nCertificate Policy: Current AIB members will receive a Digital Certificate of Participation for full video attendance of this workshop’s Zoom sessions. \n\n\nEvent Overview: Bringing “Strategy” into the classroom is an art: the delivery must blend concepts with practice and reflect the contemporariness of the domain. Teaching “International Business Strategy (IBS)” further requires dwelling on cross-border issues and developing a nuanced global mindset. It is often felt that strategy is primarily for top management\, with students and even faculty reducing it to handling various frameworks—from SWOT to BSC. Such perceptions make teaching IBS even more challenging. \nIn most business schools\, the basic course on Strategy is taught before IBS\, which makes the faculty’s task of sustaining participant interest even more demanding. In this two-session workshop\, it is proposed to help existing and aspiring faculty in conceptualizing a course on IBS through: \n• Suggested modules and a model course curriculum\n• Guidance on class preparation\, pedagogy\, and positioning the course\n• Clarity on credits\, evaluation\, and expected course outcomes \nGiven the current geopolitical landscape\, a separate\, well-designed course on IBS will significantly enrich students’ learning of strategy and its application in international contexts. \nThis workshop will be useful to: \n• Faculty members who are teaching or are likely to take up teaching International Business Strategy–related courses\n• Scholars who wish to develop expertise for research work in this area\n• In-house trainers who may benefit from the framework for organizing training programs on international business strategy in their organizations \n\n\n\nWORKSHOP LEADER \nDr. K. Rangarajan is Professor of Strategy at IIFT and heading the Kolkata Campus of IIFT \nProf. Rangarajan has more than 25 years of professional experience in teaching\, consulting\, research\, and academic administration\, including four years of industry experience at an MNC. He has traveled widely on academic assignments across the United Kingdom\, United States\, and Asia Pacific\, and has lectured on strategic issues at various national and international forums. \nHe has been faculty for numerous MDPs for both policymakers and industry\, coordinated with SMEs on strategic issues\, and served as National Expert for UNIDO\, Austria (Innovation in Textiles Industry Project) and for UNIDO evaluation missions in India. He has conducted a research study on “Implications of EU and US GSP Rules of Origin on the Exports of Indian Textiles and Clothing Industry” for the Commonwealth Secretariat\, UK\, and writes regularly on sectoral issues in national dailies and refereed journals

Rethinking International Business in a Changing World \nEvent Overview: More than three decades after the collapse of state socialism\, Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) remains a region of strong interest for international business scholarship. Once seen as a “natural laboratory” for studying institutional change and firm adaptation\, CEE is now facing a new wave of geopolitical\, technological\, and sustainability-related challenges\, which raise fundamental questions about the region’s evolving role in international business. \nAgainst this backdrop\, the 12th AIB-CEE Chapter Annual Conference invites scholars\, practitioners\, and policymakers to revisit whether – and how – CEE continues to offer distinctive insights for international business theory and practice. The conference will explore macro-\, meso-\, and micro-level dynamics shaping firms and institutions in the region\, including geopolitical uncertainty\, institutional diversity\, upgrading trajectories\, innovation\, and changing business models. \nHosted by the Poznań University of Economics and Business as part of its 100th anniversary celebrations\, the conference aims to foster dialogue on the relevance of CEE as a laboratory for understanding international business in an era of global fragmentation and transformation. During the conference\, you will have the opportunity to meet distinguished AIB Scholars\, including Sarianna Lundan (Aalto University\, Finland) Alvaro Cuervo-Cazurra (Northeastern University\, USA)\, Ari Van Assche (HEC Montreal\, Canada)\, Matt Raskovic (Auckland University of Technology\, New Zealand).
