We are pleased to invite you to participate in the online Paper Development Workshop on Geopolitics, Strategy, and International Business, which will take place online on 23rd September 2025.
With geopolitics increasingly reshaping the global business environment, this workshop provides a timely platform to explore the profound implications for firms, strategy, and international business scholarship. Topics range from deglobalization dynamics and MNE strategic responses to methodological innovations, ensuring wide relevance for researchers interested in the evolving global order. The workshop aims to foster vibrant scholarly dialogue and offer targeted feedback to support the development of your research.
Our distinguished senior faculty - including Sinziana Dorobantu (NYU Stern), Srividya Jandhyala (ESSEC Business School), Thomas Lindner (CBS/University of Innsbruck), and others - will lead discussions and provide detailed guidance during the sessions. Beyond traditional paper presentations, the program features a Senior Faculty Plenum on geopolitical phenomena, a Round Table on methods, the VALPOP Project showcase, and a Curiosity Lab session for community-driven exploration of exciting new work.
We warmly encourage you to submit your papers by 25th August 2025 and to join us for this exciting opportunity to engage, collaborate, and advance research on one of the most pressing issues of our time.
We look forward to receiving your work in progress!
