Business Diplomacy Today
Sponsored and presented by the Indo-German Centre for Business Excellence, the podcast brings international relations and geopolitics to the business world.
We live in a dynamic world where business, government, and society converge. Today, every business leader must be a savvy player in the public arena. Geopolitical events, new regulations in other markets, natural disasters, changing public perceptions, etc., directly affect a company’s future, even if they happen far away.
Business Diplomacy Today addresses contemporary international relations and geopolitics, looking at the issues from a business perspective. It helps business leaders anticipate changing political and societal trends, build and leverage political networks and take a proactive stake in societal and political matters that influence their business environment.
