Financing Technology Commercialization Pitch Competition (December 11, 2019 6:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/69961 69961-17489224@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, December 11, 2019 6:00pm
Location: Ross School of Business
Organized By: Ross Faculty Support/ACT

University of Michigan students are putting the final touches on their venture capital investment proposals in anticipation of the upcoming 2019 Financing Technology Commercialization Pitch Competition on Wednesday, Dec. 11.

This year, 20 competitive teams of graduate and undergraduate students in Professor David J. Brophy’s Financing Technology Commercialization practicum will go before a panel of venture capital judges to present their strongest, most-strategic fund-raising pitches for venture capital financing.

The event will take place in the Ross School’s Blau Auditorium. Members and friends of the U-M student, faculty and alumni community are welcome to attend at 6 p.m.

Each student team has been working closely with the founder(s) of a Michigan-based, early-stage startup for the entire semester to help jump-start the company’s growth. A number of the participating startups are University spinouts that are commercializing new technologies and research discoveries.

Over the course of the practicum, the students have assisted these emerging companies in refining business plans and market-entry strategies, accelerating the commercialization of research discoveries and disruptive technologies, and raising venture capital to fund expansion.

To move the needle on startup development, the teams needed to conduct due diligence, calculate valuation, develop financial plans and make key strategic decisions. Seasoned mentors helped the students put their textbook theory into practice.

The high-stakes 2019 Financing Technology Commercialization Pitch Competition represents the culmination of months of hard work and collaboration. Each team stands ready to take on the capstone challenge in hopes of emerging as the top-ranked contestant in the pitch competition.

The practicum’s goal, according to Professor Brophy, is to give emerging, fast-growth companies a fresh set of eyes, minds and hands that can help them progress “the next mile” to raise external equity capital. Students, in turn, benefit from their action-based learning experience, which prepares them to become successful leaders of their own entrepreneurial enterprises in the future.
“In an action-learning setting, this unique course succeeds in teaching students and entrepreneurs, as working partners, how to prepare and position high-potential, emerging growth companies to raise their first (Series A) venture capital, a critical milestone in the company’s growth,” Professor Brophy explains. “Our objective is to help local market companies directly and to prepare U-M students to be fundable founders and venture investors in their own right.”

This year’s panel of seasoned VCs will assess and rank the students’ investor pitches and offer helpful feedback. Judging panelists are drawn from a wide range of Michigan venture capital investors: corporations such as Stryker and DowDuPont, investment partnerships from the Michigan Venture Capital Association, and an array of angel investment groups and high net worth individuals.

Since its inception in 2004, Professor Brophy’s course has provided student-led business-development and capital-raising assistance to 225 early-stage companies, including 75 ventures that have procured their targeted funding. More than 1,300 U-M students have gone through the practicum and become part of the Michigan Ross Center for Venture Capital and Private Equity Finance “Next Mile to Funding” venture capital network.

Positive Links:
The Positive Links Speaker Series, presented by Michigan Ross’ Center for Positive Organizations, offers inspiring and practical research-based strategies for building organizations that are high performing and bring out the best in its people. Attendees learn from leading positive organizational scholars and connect with our community of academics, students, staff, and leaders.

Positive Links sessions take place at Michigan Ross, and are free and open to the public.

About the talk:
The exhortation to be true to oneself is often intended to empower, but it can actually promote apprehension because instructions are rarely provided. Thus, many shy away from what is true to self, take on inauthentic behaviors to fit into their work environments, or at worst, turn to harsh transparency, alienating those around them. In this session, Hewlin will share how people can be authentic “on their own terms” by identifying their thresholds of authenticity as well as personal values that can be integrated into the workplace to: increase work engagement, foster positive relationships, and enhance overall personal well-being.

About Hewlin:
Patricia Faison Hewlin is the Associate Dean of Undergraduate Programs, and Associate Professor in the Desautels Faculty of Management at McGill University. She is also a visiting professor at Southwestern University of Finance and Economics in Chengdu, China. Prior to joining academia, she was a Vice President for Citi, where she managed financial centers in New York City.

Hewlin conducts research on how organization members and leaders engage in authentic expression, as well as factors that impede authenticity in the workplace. Her research has primarily centered on employee silence, and the degree to which members suppress personal values and pretend to embrace organizational values, a behavior she terms as “creating facades of conformity.” Her most recent research explores authenticity from a cross-cultural perspective, and how organizations, particularly leaders can leverage diverse and divergent authentic self-expressions among followers, while promoting positive work interactions and productivity.

Hewlin is published in several academic journals including Academy of Management Journal, Academy of Management Review, Organization Science, Journal of Applied Psychology, Journal of Occupational and Organizational Psychology, and Journal of Chinese Management. She has also contributed to the Globe and Mail, Huffington Post, Getting Smart, and Harvard Business Review.

On a personal note, Hewlin enjoys traveling, solving puzzles, and quiet moments with her family.

Private Equity "Bake-Off" Competition (December 12, 2019 6:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/69963 69963-17489228@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, December 12, 2019 6:00pm

Nine University of Michigan student teams will square off against each other on Thursday, December 12, during the annual private equity “battle of the pitches,” held by the Center for Venture Capital and Private Equity Finance, or CVP, at the Ross School of Business.
Only two teams will advance to the “Bake-off” semifinals, where they will have a shot at winning this year’s Brophy-Gelband Merit Scholarship and $10,000 in prize money.

The event will be held in the Ross School’s Blau Auditorium, and is open to members and friends of the U-M student, faculty and alumni community at 6 p.m.

The 12th annual Private Equity “Bake-off” competition serves as the capstone event for MBA and U-M graduate students enrolled in Professor David J. Brophy’s Private Equity Finance course.

For this highly anticipated interclass challenge, each student team will present a detailed proposal for a private-equity takeover of an existing public company. A judge’s panel composed of private equity investors and investment practitioners will rank the teams by the quality, comprehensiveness and attractiveness (in terms of projected return on investment) of their public-to-private buyout pitches. Then the judges will narrow the competitive field to two semi-finalists.

During the “Bake-off,” the Blau Colloquium audience of students, alumni and sponsors will cast popular votes for the semifinalist team with the best buyout pitch. The winner will receive the Brophy-Gelband Merit Scholarship and take home $7,500 in prize money. The runner-up will receive $2,500.

“Alan Gelband, an alum and great friend of U-M Ross, joins us in facilitating student access to opportunities in the private equity and alternative investment field,” Professor Brophy says. “Graduates of this and other Center for Venture Capital and Private Equity Finance (CVP) courses and competitions are now private equity fund leaders globally and providing continued support for our programs and conferences.”

At the beginning of the fall term, Professor Brophy assigned the student teams to select and evaluate a middle-market public company for a possible “model” private-equity acquisition. The students used publicly available financial records to assess the company’s management, revenue, profits and market position, and subsequently to project the estimated return on investment for private equity investors. Based on this extensive information gathering and financial analysis, each team formulated a buyout pitch for the target company it had chosen.

Alan Gelband, BBA ’65, MBA ’67, the benefactor for the annual Bake-off award, says the public-to-private buyout competition serves both as a learning tool for students and a talent pipeline for the PE industry.
“This is an important exercise for anyone who wants to get into private equity, which is a leader of business evolution today,” says Gelband, the founder and managing director at Gelband & Co. investment banking.

Other Ross and CVP alumni and regional private equity investors who volunteer as judges also play a formative role during the annual Bake-off competition by providing constructive feedback on the teams’ buyout pitches and suggesting ways to strengthen their written and oral presentations. This year’s roster of judges includes investors from regional and national private equity firms.

Attendees learn from leading positive organizational scholars and connect with our community of academics, students, staff, and leaders.

Positive Links sessions take place at Michigan Ross, and are free and open to the public.

About the talk:
The field of Positive Organizational Scholarship asks what people, groups, and organizations are like when at their very best. Researchers in the field scientifically examine the best of the human condition. This means researchers use science to learn from excellence. For 18 years, Quinn has been teaching executives how to understand and apply these accumulating scientific findings. In the process, he has become increasingly aware that in the world of practice, like the world of science, most people do not attend to or learn from excellence. They learn from failure while seeking to reproduce order. In this participative session, Quinn will explore three questions:
1. What does it mean to learn from excellence?
2. How does learning from excellence alter leadership and culture?
3. What can we do to learn from and create social excellence?

About Quinn:
Robert E. Quinn is the Margaret Elliot Tracy Collegiate Professor Emeritus at the University of Michigan’s Ross School of Business. His research and writing focus on purpose, leadership, culture, and change. He is one of the co-founders of the field of Positive Organizational Scholarship and a co-founder of the Center for Positive Organizations.

In terms of research, he is in the top 1% of professors cited in organizational behavior textbooks. He has published 18 books. As a teacher, Quinn is the recipient of multiple awards. In a recent global survey, he was named one of the top speakers in the world on the topic of organizational culture and related issues. Last year, his talk on personal purpose went viral on Facebook and has been viewed over 16 million times.

Institutional change and the rise of win-win ideology in annual reports of US firms, 1960-2010 (January 24, 2020 1:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/70715 70715-17619597@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, January 24, 2020 1:30pm

Despite the historical tension between social and economic goals, contemporary US firms routinely depict such aims as synergistic. Analyzing 300 annual reports from a sample of 80 large US public firms between 1960 and 2010, we examine the rise of “win-win” conceptions of social and economic value, which include both the social benefits of economic activities and economic gains from social responsibility. Our findings support arguments that win-win

ideology is a culturally contingent rhetoric tied to the emergence of a neoliberal socio-economic context. Macro-level indicators of firms’ changing institutional context including financialization of the economy, rationalization of the social sphere, and the rise of voluntary regulation schemes such as ratings and rankings, are associated with the rise of win-win rhetoric. The general socioeconomic influence is mediated by firm-level attention to its environment, which is reflected in mentions of external evaluations in annual reports. The study contributes to institutional theories of the historical development of corporate responsibility and to understanding heterogeneous organizational responses to macro-level institutional change

How are Ross faculty members advancing the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals through business research? Each month, Business+Impact hosts an interactive design micro-charette themed around one of these goals. During the month of January, we will address Goal 3: Good Health & Well-Being.  Several award-winning Ross faculty members (to be announced) will share their research in an informal setting, and students will have the opportunity to brainstorm possible next steps for how the research can be applied to real-world applications that make a positive impact.

This limited-size two-hour workshop will feature:

Faculty presentations on key research insights.
Discussion
Design micro-charrette using specific design tools for problem identification

Due to high interest in these workshops, we must cap attendance at 25. We aim to keep the numbers of participants at a size that can accommodate the space capacity of the +Impact Studio and provide meaningful group discussion.

The cost of doing business in China today is a high one, and it is paid by any and every company that comes looking to tap into its markets or leverage its workforce. Quite simply, you don’t get to do business in China today without doing exactly what the Chinese government wants you to do. Period. No one is immune. No one. As someone who has lived and worked in China, advised companies about investing there, and quite happily been described as a China bull, I have struggled to accept this fateful conclusion in the era of Xi Jinping. Like some other China Bulls, I had believed the early promises of Deng Xiaoping, Jiang Zemin, and Zhu Rongji about China’s fair and open future, open markets, the emergence of a rule of law system. To be clear, I am still very bullish on the strength and trajectory of the Chinese economy – China *will* continue to grow and it *will* surpass the US as the largest economy in the world. However, the current era is just a much darker period for everyone, including Multinational Corporations (MNCs). There is no free lunch for doing business in Xi's China – especially for technology companies. China *will* get its pound of flesh as the cost of operating there: you get to operate here and gain access to the the most innovative supply chain in the world and world's largest marketplace; and China gets what it wants in terms of benefits to Chinese economy and society (as defined by the Chinese Government). Based on three decades of China research — including thousands of interviews — and, most recently, my time as an executive for Apple in China (2014-19), this talk attempts to lay out what my views on how China has co-opted the business community in the era of Xi Jinping.

Chinese Co - optation: Doing Business in the Era of Xi Jinping (February 14, 2020 1:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/70712 70712-17619588@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, February 14, 2020 1:30pm

The cost of doing business in China today is a high one, and it is paid by any and every company that comes looking to tap into its markets or leverage its workforce. Quite simply, you don’t get to do business in China today without doing exactly what the Chinese government wants you to do. Period. No one is immune. No one. As someone who has lived and worked in China, advised companies about investing there, and quite happily been described as a China bull, I have struggled to accept this fateful conclusion in the era of Xi Jinping. Like some other China Bulls, I had believed the early promises of Deng Xiaoping, Jiang Zemin, and Zhu Rongji about China’s fair and open future, open markets, the emergence of a rule of law system. To be clear, I am still very bullish on the strength and trajectory of the Chinese economy – China *will* continue to grow and it *will* surpass the US as the largest economy in the world. However, the current era is just a much darker period for everyone, including Multinational Corporations (MNCs). There is no free lunch for doing business in Xi's China – especially for technology companies. China *will* get its pound of flesh as the cost of operating there: you get to operate here and gain access to the the most innovative supply chain in the world and world's largest marketplace; and China gets what it wants in terms of benefits to Chinese economy and society (as defined by the Chinese Government). Based on three decades of China research — including thousands of interviews — and, most recently, my time as an executive for Apple in China (2014-19), this talk attempts to lay out what my views on how China has co-opted the business community in the era of Xi Jinping.

About the talk:
Hierarchy is the most ubiquitous way in which human beings organize social interactions. However, hierarchy comes with substantial downsides in terms of inequities and conflicts. As a result, organizations have explored flatter modes of organizing, such as holacracy, which unfortunately have yet to yield much success. In this presentation, Greer will explore the possibility that hierarchy may still be the most effective form of organization but needs to be used wisely. She will discuss data-driven strategies which can allow hierarchy to be a useful and positive organizational tool, including helping leaders learn how to ‘flex’ the hierarchy for bursts of flatness, to humanize the hierarchy through sharing emotions at work, and to reduce competitions around hierarchy by creating areas of individual ownership and autonomy.

John Viera
Executive in Residence
Erb Institute, University of Michigan

An increasing number of companies, large and small, are developing core strategies and engaging in projects that address environmental and social challenges in our society. The social efforts often reflect strong corporate citizenship cultures at these companies. Many engineers are seeking to work for companies that are engaging in these types of projects. During this seminar the speaker will highlight such efforts within a heavy manufacturing entity, in this case the automotive sector. Such efforts can be easily aligned with potential efforts within the aerospace industry.

About the speaker...

John Viera was most recently the former Global Director, Sustainability & Vehicle Environmental Matters at Ford Motor Company, a position he held since January, 2007. Mr. Viera was responsible for developing global sustainable business plans and policies, interfacing with global regulatory bodies, reporting externally on the company’s environmental and social performance, and leading the company’s engagement and partnerships with non-government organizations (NGOs) and other external stakeholders.

Viera has held several positions within Ford Motor Company during his 30 year tenure. For the first thirteen years of his career, he worked in the company’s Truck Division with responsibilities that included leading the Company efforts in the development of its first natural gas-fueled pickup trucks and also leading the Company’s Global Truck Computer Aided Design organization.

In 1997, Viera was appointed manager, Plant Engineering Vehicle Team, Explorer and Mountaineer programs. Located in Louisville, Kentucky, Viera was responsible for all on-site engineering personnel for Explorer plants in Louisville, St. Louis, Missouri, and Valencia, Venezuela. He returned to Michigan in 1999 to become the chief engineer for the Ranger Compact Pickup and Electric Ranger. In 2002, Viera took on the company’s mid-term cost reduction initiative, building a team which delivered $1.2 billion of savings in eighteen months, beating his assigned target by over a year. In 2003, Viera became chief engineer for the Expedition and Navigator Full Size SUVs, with complete responsibility for current and future model programs.

Mr. Viera recently served on the advisory boards at Georgia Tech in Atlanta, the Graham Institute of Environmental Sustainability at the University of Michigan, the advisory board of Sustainable Brands, and the Energy Advisory Committee at the Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago, as well as the chair of the Department of Homeland Security’s Sustainability and Efficiency Task Force in Washington, D.C.

A native of Chicago, Viera attended the University of Michigan, receiving his Bachelors of Science in Mechanical Engineering in 1984 as well as a Masters in Business Administration in 1992.

Democratic socialism: lessons from Corporate Strategy (February 21, 2020 1:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/70749 70749-17642220@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, February 21, 2020 1:30pm
Location: Ross School of Business
Organized By: Interdisciplinary Committee on Organizational Studies - ICOS

In my recent book, The 99 Percent Economy: How Democratic Socialism Can Overcome the Crises of Capitalism (Oxford UP) I explain why I think we need socialism and how it would work. I focus on six crises--economic irrationality, workplace disempowerment, government unresponsiveness, environmental degradation, social disintegration, and international conflict--and argue that the root cause of each lies in the capitalist nature of our economic system. I show why, so long as the core of the economy remains capitalist, neither voluntary corporate efforts nor government regulation can overcome these crises, even if sometimes they can be somewhat mitigated. To overcome them, we need to reorient production and investment to the needs of people and planet, rather than leaving such decisions in the hands of the top managers of enterprises driven by the need for profits. We must assert democratic control over the management of society’s productive resources, both within individual enterprises and across the entire national economy

No country has successfully implemented such a system in a way that would meet our expectations of democracy, innovativeness, efficiency, and motivation, but I argue that we can find something close to a working model in a surprising place--in the strategic management process used by some of our largest corporations. Many of these corporations operate internally like planned economies--coordinating their subunits’ production and investment through strategic management rather than relying on market-like competition among subunits--and in doing so, they face many of the same challenges as socialist planning would. This experience yields valuable lessons for socialism, because in some of these corporations, the strategic management process is remarkably participative, as well as delivering impressive levels of innovation, efficiency, and motivation.

Their success in this remains limited: under capitalist conditions, participation is restricted, the scope of strategy is largely limited to the individual firm, and the profit imperative constrains choices. But if we socialize the ownership of our economy’s productive resources, democratic councils at the local and national levels could use that strategic management process to decide on our collective economic, environmental, social, and international goals and on how to reach them.

Socialism is not a leap into the entirely unknown. Capitalist industry is building some of its material and managerial foundations.

How Is Esports Building a Billion-Dollar Empire? (February 21, 2020 5:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/72732 72732-18068367@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, February 21, 2020 5:30pm

Organized By: Michigan China Forum

What comes to your mind when you hear the word “Esports”? A billion-dollar empire being built? Causes of addiction and violence? Having come a long way from video gaming, Esports has evolved into a global phenomenon even though controversies persist.

Research shows that 65% of 8-12 years old teenagers play video games for more than 2 hours per day. About 41% of boys think they have spent too much time on video games. Being addicted to video games is only one of many reasons that people are against Esports. From many adults’ perspective, violent, bloody elements in video games are likely to negatively affect teenagers. Hence, Esports is an industry bearing prejudice and stereotypes.

However, as a burgeoning industry, Esports is gaining massive popularity across the globe in recent years. According to Newzoo, revenues of the global Esports industry exceeded $1.1 billion in 2019, which is an increase of 26.7% over the previous year. Asia-Pacific sees the highest proportion of Esports viewership (57%) and the major growth is being witnessed in China. North America is once again the largest Esports market where the major share is contributed by the United States. With more investors, favorable policies, and the potential access to the Olympics, Esports, a new era “gold rush” is redefining the world of games.

From game development, to corporate social responsibility, to higher education, how should Esports navigate the controversies? What factors have contributed to the rise of Esports? What is the future of this industry? Come join us at the Esports panel discussion with Professor Katherine Babiak, Professor Austin Yarger, Ph.D. student Luis Velazquez, Arbor eSports’ president Alexander Ball, and UM Esports program manager Cybbi Barton.

Cultural Diversity Broadens Social Networks (February 28, 2020 1:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/70750 70750-17642221@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, February 28, 2020 1:30pm

Abstract
Migration and mobility increase cultural diversity. Does this diversity have consequences for how a culture’s members interact, even in a new community? We hypothesized that people from regions with greater present-day and historical cultural diversity would forge more diversified social ties in a newly formed community, connecting otherwise unconnected groups. In other words, that they would become social brokers. We tested this prediction by characterizing the social networks of eight Master of Business Administration cohorts (N=2,250). Here we show that international students (N=776) from populations with diverse long-history migration were more likely to become social brokers than international students from less ancestrally diverse nations. American students’ (N = 1,464) brokerage scores were also positively related to their home counties’ indices of international connectivity (calculated from aggregate Facebook data). The results of this study suggest that more culturally diverse social environments — defined here at multiple geographic and temporal scales — endow people with socially adaptable behaviors that help them connect to new, heterogeneous communities.

Is it Really Better to Give than Receive?
Wayne Baker

Positive Links:
The Positive Links Speaker Series, presented by Michigan Ross’ Center for Positive Organizations, offers inspiring and practical research-based strategies for building organizations that are high performing and bring out the best in its people. Attendees learn from leading positive organizational scholars and connect with our community of academics, students, staff, and leaders.

About the talk:
The greatest barrier to generosity isn't that people are unwilling or unable to help, but that people don't ask for what they need. Requests drive the giving-receiving cycle. Drawing on his new book, All You Have To Do Is Ask, Baker describes the four asking-giving styles, how to assess your style, how to overcome the obstacles to asking, how to make effective requests, and how to figure out who to ask. He will present several tools that individuals, teams, and organizations use to create a robust culture of workplace generosity. In-person attendees will have the opportunity to use the tools in real time.

About Baker:
Wayne Baker is Robert P. Thome Professor of Business Administration and Professor of Management & Organizations at the University of Michigan Ross School of Business. He is also Professor of Sociology at the University of Michigan and Faculty Associate at the Institute for Social Research. He currently serves as Faculty Director of the Center for Positive Organizations.

His teaching and research focus on social capital, social networks, generosity, positive organizational scholarship, and values. His management and leadership articles appear in venues such as Harvard Business Review, Chief Executive Magazine, and Sloan Management Review. His latest book, All You Have To Do Is Ask, will be published in January 2020.

He puts his knowledge into practice as a frequent guest speaker, management consultant, and as an advisor and board member of Give and Take Inc., developers of the Givitas collaborative technology platform.

Prior to joining the Michigan faculty, he was on the faculty at the University of Chicago business school. He earned his PhD in sociology from Northwestern University and was a post-doctoral research fellow at Harvard University.

Do Socially Responsible Corporations pay Taxes? CSR and effective Tax Rates (March 13, 2020 1:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/70756 70756-17642227@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, March 13, 2020 1:30pm

Organized By: Interdisciplinary Committee on Organizational Studies - ICOS

Abstract: The social responsibilities of for-profit corporations have gained importance recently, and CSR has become both a goal and a set of guidelines for various corporate activities. CSR encompasses a number of dimension, typically including environmental impacts, treatment of employees, and relations to local communities. Here we consider the relationship between CSR and corporate taxes: do firms that are “good citizens” also pay higher taxes? Is it the social responsibility of firms to help pay for public services? Focusing on the percentile rank of effective tax rates, and using random effects panel regression of a data set of publicly-traded U.S. firms that includes measures of CSR and many financial variables, we find that the relationship between CSR and taxation is a complicated one that warrants further investigation. However, strong corporate governance, a typical component of CSR, is associated with lower tax rates, suggesting that responsibility to shareholders conflicts with broader social responsibilities.

Thursday, April 2, 2020: 11 a.m. to 12 p.m. EST | VIRTUAL

Hear from H&M Senior Business Controller, Elliot Faulk, during this virtual Alumni Connections session about his own career experience in international retail.

As an LSA undergrad, Faulk always knew he wanted a career that would take him abroad. “I was interested in the retail industry—one of the world’s largest industries—and interested both from the production side and the customer-facing side.” He landed a position in product development at Macy’s headquarters in New York City, a role that focused on international sourcing. Three years later, he sought a retailer that had a large global footprint —H&M—where he joined the fashion retailer’s team as a business controller and made a home in Stockholm, Sweden.

This is an informal, non-recruiting environment where you can ask questions and explore your interest in an industry with an alum.

You should attend this workshop if you are:
A liberal arts and/or sciences student
Interested in exploring the possibility of a career abroad
Open to learning about roles in the retail space like product development, business planning, and financial operations

What you’ll gain by attending:
Take advantage of an opportunity to form connections with a recent LSA graduate who majored in International Studies in 2014
Explore what a global career in the retail industry is like and determine if it aligns with your interests
Gain insight into what it takes to have an international career in the retail space.

Space is limited for this group conversation to 10 students. Please RSVP now to save your spot and to receive an email with the BlueJeans video meeting details.

Nuclear Energy Grand Challenge Pitch Competition (April 10, 2020 1:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/72087 72087-17937815@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, April 10, 2020 1:30pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Nuclear Engineering and Radiological Sciences

Nuclear power is an essential tool in the fight against climate change—producing massive amounts of energy without any greenhouse gas emissions. In fact, deploying nuclear power at scale worldwide represents the most efficient path to deep decarbonization. Despite this potential, the nuclear power industry is hindered by social, political, and economic challenges in many parts of the world. The Nuclear Energy Grand Challenge represents a series of prize competitions organized by the Energy Impact Center to spur a new approach to nuclear power deployment on a time frame that can make a difference.

The first prize competition, Reimagining Nuclear Waste, is taking place over the Fall 2019 and Winter 2020 semesters in partnership with the University of Michigan. It was designed to advance the clean energy economy by engaging collegiate innovators and entrepreneurs to tackle one of the most unique challenges facing the nuclear energy industry—the perception of nuclear waste.

The nuclear industry has historically responded to calls against its “waste” by offering solutions around concentrating, storing indefinitely, and separating it from humans, which only further—albeit counterintuitively—deepens the public’s distrust, misunderstanding, and wariness of the energy source at large. This prize competition represents the first of several efforts to flip the script on the byproducts of nuclear energy generation, by identifying new commercial opportunities to transform nuclear “waste” from a liability into an asset.

Interdisciplinary student teams were challenged to create technical business plan proposals to productize nuclear waste and incentivize the creation of new markets/uses that re-imagine how spent nuclear fuel can be utilized. At this public event, the teams will present their proposals to a panel of judges.

Business Strategy and Leadership (April 17, 2020 10:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/70742 70742-17627841@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, April 17, 2020 10:00am
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (50+)

Solutions to the climate change challenge must come from the market (as comprised of corporations, the government, non-governmental organizations, and others), the most powerful institution on earth, and from business, which is the most powerful entity within it. Though government is an important arbiter of the market, it is business that transcends national boundaries, possessing resources that exceed those of many nations.

Professor Andrew Hoffman will discuss the ways in which climate change is altering and will alter markets, and the kinds of resulting responses from the business sector.

Professor Hoffman, Holcim (U.S.) Professor of Sustainable Enterprise, University of Michigan Ross School of Business and University of Michigan School for Environment and Sustainability, performs research using organizational behavior models and theories to understand the cultural and institutional aspects of environmental issues for organizations. He has published over 100 articles/book chapters, as well as 16 books, which have been translated into six languages.

Project Management Certification (April 26, 2020 11:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/73563 73563-18261074@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Sunday, April 26, 2020 11:00am
Location: Ross School of Business
Organized By: Tauber Institute for Global Operations

Once again, the Tauber Institute, in conjunction with the International Project Management Association (IPMA), is sponsoring a Project Management certification class and exam for graduate business and engineering students and staff.

In order to participate, you will need to reflect upon a project management experience (for example a work project, an engineering design experience/senior capstone, Ross' MAP project, Tauber team project, etc). If you cannot make it to the classes (due to project travel, MAP, or other another class), the sessions will be recorded. Homework (mastery verification) will be required after each session.

The cost to an individual to take the exam is normally $595, however, Tauber is offering the exam at a substantial discount to non-Tauber students: $500 and to Tauber students: $150. Certification is valid for 5 years. Three certification classes will be taught by Professor Eric Svaan on the following dates:

Sunday, March 15 (noon - 4:30 pm, Ross R-0420)
Sunday, March 29 (noon - 4:30 pm, Ross R-0420)
Sunday, April 5 (noon - 4:30 pm, Ross R-0420)

The certification exam, administered by IPMA-USA is scheduled for April 26, 2020 (11:00 am) at the Ross School of Business, R-0320. Successfully passing the exam will yield IPMA's Level D certification (Certified Project Management Associate).

Over the last two years, all students who have taken the exam have passed!

Project Management is a powerful skillset to have in your toolbox as you look for full-time employment!

REGISTRATION: Please register through iMpact by clicking here:
http://myumi.ch/dO5Nl

NOTE: The $500 (for non-Tauber students) or $150 fee (for Tauber students) is non-refundable.

HOSTED BY: Tauber Institute for Global Operations. For questions about this event, please contact tauberinstitute@umich.edu or visit tauber.umich.edu.

What is IPMA Level D® (Certified Project Management Associate)? The IPMA Level D is an internationally recognized entry-level qualification in the area of project management. This designation, which demonstrates the individual's ability to understand the basics of project management, is similar to the exam-oriented, knowledge-based certifications of other major Project Management associations. For many, Level D® is the first step towards a professional project or program manager role. It is the first step in a sequence (C, B, and A) to be earned by demonstration of success in larger PM responsibility sets.

Location:
Organized By: LSA Opportunity Hub

Founder of IF Management, Author & Speaker, Steven Herz

“When all else is equal—education, work ethic, intelligence, experience, ambition—the single biggest factor in winning business, promotions, friendships, or followers hinges on our ability to communicate and connect,” says LSA alum Steven Herz.

Before starting a broadcast and marketing representation firm, Steven graduated from LSA in 1988 with a Political Science degree and worked for the Michigan Daily as a sports and editorial writer.

In his upcoming book, Don’t Take Yes for an Answer, Steve Herz identifies the three key critical traits that human beings respond to most (AWE): Authority, Warmth & Energy. Mastering AWE gives you an unparalleled advantage over the competition, no matter your field. Join Steve to learn why you may be in an echo chamber of YES in your life and why it can lead to the vortex of mediocracy.

In order to get the most out of Steve’s session, please download the free AWE-Thority Prep guide at www.stevenherz.com ahead of the event.

You should attend this workshop if you are:
A liberal arts and/or sciences student
Looking for insights and tips on intensifying your professional relationships and excelling in your career
Interested in pursuing a career in business, entrepreneurship, or finance
Curious about learning more about Steve’s AWE theory

What you’ll gain by attending:
Get advice about how to mold your own professional identity
Learn how entry-level roles and developing technical competencies may have a more enduring impact on your success
Gain a better understanding of how your LSA degree prepares you to reach your professional goals

Organized By: Center for Global and Intercultural Study

Study abroad is not just for juniors. It's not just for language and international studies majors. It's not just for students from certain communities or socioeconomic backgrounds. No matter who you are, where you come from, or what you’re studying, a study abroad experience is available to you during your time at Michigan.

Whether you want to develop the skills you’ll need to compete in a global economy, cultivate your language competencies, or build meaningful connections with people from around the world, this is the best time in your life for a global experience.

Studying abroad often proves to be a pivotal experience, but deciding which program is the best fit can be daunting as you consider questions such as: How will this enhance my course of study? When should I go? For how long? Where? Can I afford it? How do I prepare? Will my credits transfer? The CGIS Study Abroad Virtual Fair is the best time to get all of your questions answered!

During the day of the virtual fair, you'll have instant access to academic advisors, education abroad advisors, Office of Financial Aid & LSA Scholarship Office representatives, and program representatives as well as scheduled events throughout the fair!

Ram shares insights from his experiences in leading teams at organizations like Walmart, Nokia, and Airtel as they faced seismic strategic changes, volatile business environments, and unprecedented operational pressures. “There are common leadership themes that emerge for successful teams in the midst of these challenges which have helped them be resilient and grow stronger. Over the years, I have had the incredible opportunity to learn through my personal failures and success stories.”

Join us as we explore these common themes and discuss the value of leading disruptive change!

Currently, he is leading sales for strategic accounts in Asia-Pacific and Japan as Field Commerce Executive at VMWare (Dell Technologies).

Given this rich blend of experiences within a vast spectrum of geographies and industries, Ram is truly a Leader in Global Operations.

The Landscape of Connection Workshop is an invitation to be inspired by the power of human connections. While we are living in trying times that put stress on our ability to be with one another, these times also highlight that human connections are essential for our well being and effectiveness.

This 90-minute workshop will give you a foundation for new ways of seeing, understanding, and acting to build connections with others, even in remote work and online gatherings. You’ll leave with a new appreciation of how to design remote work and online gatherings to tap into wellsprings of capability, strength, and resilience. You’ll take away a customized plan that is designed to support high quality connections in your next remote session, as well as a design guide that will help you navigate the landscape of connections more effectively in these times.

The Old Globalization and the New Globalization (November 13, 2020 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/79042 79042-20178457@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, November 13, 2020 12:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: William Davidson Institute

Globalization isn’t dead, but it increasingly has to do more with trading ideas and services than with moving metal containers stuffed with manufactured goods. This talk will discuss how globalization is changing and why.
Marc Levinson is an independent historian, economist, and journalist whose career has centered on making complex economic issues understandable to the general public. Marc spent many years as an economic journalist, including a turn as finance and economics editor of The Economist in London. Returning to New York, he worked as an economist for J.P. Morgan Chase, developing a unique industry economics function and then initiating the bank’s environmental research for stock and bond investors. He later served as a senior fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations. His books include the business classic The Box: How the Shipping Container Made the World Smaller and the World Economy Bigger; The Great A&P and the Struggle for Small Business in America, which won wide praise from across the political spectrum for exploring the tension between capitalism and competition in the U.S. economy; and An Extraordinary Time, showing how the sudden end of the postwar boom in the early 1970s led voters in many countries to turn away from activist government in favor of free-market ideas. He will be speaking about his latest book, Outside the Box, a lively history of globalization and its consequences.

LRCCS Noon Lecture Series | Zoom Webinar: "Designing Online Platforms for Offline Services in China: A Market-Frictions Based Perspective" (December 1, 2020 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/76169 76169-19671600@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, December 1, 2020 12:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Lieberthal-Rogel Center for Chinese Studies

The Fall 2020 lecture series will be only available on-line as a Zoom webinar.

Using market-frictions based logic, Dr. Wu and his co-author/researcher on this project, develop an analytical model that examines how online platforms can govern opportunistic behavior of offline service providers in China, thus allowing market forces to promote the general welfare. Their work sheds new light on how platform design can help reduce market frictions in economic exchanges and potentially shape the evolution of industries.

Xun (Brian) Wu is an Associate Professor of Strategy (with tenure), Michael R. and Mary Kay Hallman Fellow, and faculty director of China Initiatives at the Ross School of Business at the University of Michigan. He received his BS from Tsinghua University in China, MSc from National University of Singapore, and PhD from the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania.

His research examines the dynamics of corporate scope and the evolution of industries. His research has been published or is forthcoming in top scholarly journals including "Management Science," "Organization Science," and "Strategic Management Journal." He serves as an Associate Editor for "Strategic Management Journal."
