Time:
Friday, 05/Apr/2024:
1:00pm - 2:30pm
Session Chair: Dr Elizabeth Yi Wang, University of Leeds, United Kingdom;
Location:Adrian Cadbury Lecture Theatre
Aston Business School Building , Ground Floor
The Professional Development Workshop (PDW) is a follow up of an AIB Impact Event, entitled “An Agenda for Sustainable International Business”, organised by the Mainstreaming Impact in International Business (MIIB) Initiative of the AIB and the AIB UKI Chapter. The Event attracted a great deal of interests and stimulated further discussions in various institutions and organisations. As a result, a Sustainable International Business Poster Competition was launched as an action for the Agenda. Supported by a range of AIB components, including MIIB, AIB UKI, AIB LAC, T&E SIG, Sustainability SIG, Digitisation SIG, and WAIB, the Competition aims to address the world’s critical sustainability challenges by pooling resources of engaged International Business (IB) scholarship in research and teaching to help organisations engaged with IB activities to add (net positive) value to society. The Competition is operationalised in a way to empower students, educators, and businesses. The PDW has the following objectives: (1) to share experiences gained so far by participating educators, students and non-academic stakeholders; (2) to engage with audience and explore best practices, and (3) to introduce resources developed by the Sustainable International Business Partnership (SIBP) which are used by global students participating in the Competition.
