Description
Geopolitical risk has emerged as an important factor in foreign investment decisions in recent years. The rise of geopolitical tensions worldwide and the fragmentation of relationships between countries have introduced new dimensions to foreign investment risks. MNEs and their managers are taking notice. Many have established dedicated roles to address geopolitical risk. For example, in 2023, the Financial Times reported that Goldman Sachs had launched a Global Institute to advise clients on geopolitical matters due to heightened demand. Similarly, Lazard established a geopolitical risk unit to "capitalize on global volatility." The symposium will open with introductory keynote comments by two prominent scholars in the field, it will continue with four paper presentations, and it will conclude with a brief question-and-answer session with the audience. The ensuing discussion is envisioned to help advance both conceptual and empirical work on the management of geopolitical risk. We hope to also shed light on promising areas for further research that leverage both novel approaches to theory and explore new empirical settings.| Period | 13 Aug 2024 |
