The economics and strategy of digital businesses are quite different from those of businesses selling physical goods and services. With the incessant growth of digitalization, it has become imperative to incorporate digital strategy in IB and related courses. This webinar offers a primer on digital strategy as well as some resources for incorporating digital strategy within existing IB courses. It will present the basic rules underpinning digital business (such as network effects and zero marginal cost) and the tools of digital strategy, especially for international businesses. There will be opportunities for participants to ask questions and share their own experiences in teaching digital strategy and related topics. Schedule: A Primer on Digital Strategy (Vinod Jain: 30 minutes) Case Studies of Digital Businesses (Vinod Jain and Sali Li: 15 minutes each) Q&A (15 minutes) Zoom Link for the Webinar The webinar will take place via zoom at: aalto.zoom.us/j/63589912475<https://eur01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Faalto.zoom.us%2Fj%2F63589912475&data=04%7C01%7Cfeyc1%40aaltofi.mail.onmicrosoft.com%7C2a5b8a5f954f4eb6c31308da054138c7%7Cae1a772440414462a6dc538cb199707e%7C1%7C0%7C637828075956847875%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000&sdata=ROrAh1%2FjrraROPUGJZ92n44JGL2DFHB40bGTJtNXOLg%3D&reserved=0> Meeting ID: 635 8991 2475 +496938079884,,63589912475# Germany Speaker Bios Vinod Jain is an expert in global and digital strategy, award-winning professor, Fulbright Scholar, and author of an MBA textbook on Global Strategy<https://eur01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2FGlobal-Strategy-Vinod-Jain%2Fdp%2F1138844241%2Fref%3Dsr_1_1%3Fkeywords%3Dglobal%2Bstrategy%2Bjain%26qid%3D1629066466%26sr%3D8-1&data=04%7C01%7Cfeyc1%40aaltofi.mail.onmicrosoft.com%7C2a5b8a5f954f4eb6c31308da054138c7%7Cae1a772440414462a6dc538cb199707e%7C1%7C0%7C637828075956847875%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000&sdata=GtOWL5IElK2L3Y1jU5jFon70VXidic9W3k3Iu3%2FTSyY%3D&reserved=0>.

Now, two years into the biggest shift in teaching for most of us, it is time to consolidate best practices and to provide an opportunity for picking up additional skills for a future that will certainly not be like the past. From our work with hundreds of faculty around the world it is clear that case teaching has changed permanently with COVID-19. After this session you will be able to better adapt to online case teaching and to redesigning or designing from scratch entire courses for online case delivery. We will also discuss how to best blend asynchronous and synchronous learning. Case examples for the webinar will come from International Business, but the learnings about case teaching are relevant for many disciplines, and as such the seminar should be of interest to people from diverse areas. For additional information please contact Andreas Schotter at [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]>.

Teaching Culture General versus Culture Specific Iris Berdrow, Bentley University and TBD, April-May exact date TBD Culture is a word that everyone has heard, probably used, and understands in some way. The concept has been widely researched in many contexts, for many purposes. We all have some sense of our "cultural heritage" and that other cultures are different. There is a difference between understanding culture as a social construct and understanding the culture of a specific group of people. These considerations are referred to as culture general and culture specific. This webinar will explain each, and provide a brief outline of the teaching tools for each. The zoom link will be announced later. For more information contact: Berdrow, Iris at: [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]>.
