Papua New Guinea Entrepreneurship Education Development Workshop

The Center for International Private Enterprise (CIPE) began programming in Papua New Guinea (PNG) in 2013 with the understanding that improving the conditions for women’s economic empowerment in PNG requires a supportive ecosystem of interconnected institutions that possess both the gender lens to identify the unequal barriers faced by women and the commitment to proactively democratizing opportunities for all. Through ongoing partnerships with the Australian and U.S. governments, CIPE is implementing a cutting-edge women’s economic empowerment program in a country where women face daunting obstacles. To help create a broader “entrepreneurial ecosystem,” CIPE is operating the Women’s Business Resource Centre (WBRC) in Port Moresby, working with PNG universities to integrate entrepreneurship into formal curriculum, and providing technical assistance and advocacy trainings to women’s business organizations.

To support the CIPE PNG Grant Program, GBSN is organizing a workshop that includes three interactive modules designed to explore mini-case studies completed by GBSN based on the work of its member schools that are relevant to the small grant projects of Papua New Guinea schools.

Call for Chapters – Teaching Ethics across the Management Curriculum – Volume 4

Editors: Kemi Ogunyemi, Pan-Atlantic University, Lagos, Nigeria

Email Address: kogunyemi@lbs.edu.ng

Please send a one-page chapter proposal, dealing with or related to the themes to the editor’s email address

About the Book

Title: Teaching Ethics across the Management Curriculum (Volume 4)

Summary: This book series goes beyond the current literature by providing unique insights into the experience of seasoned academics regarding embedding business ethics into their teaching of the practice of management, especially in the light of new global happenings.The series provides faculty in business schools with knowledgeable discourse about the current ethical issues within their fields. Specifically, this call is soliciting chapter proposals from a multidisciplinary array of scholars. 

Full Description

The need to embed business ethics in the teaching of management disciplines has at times given rise to a debate as to whether ethics should be taught as a standalone course or in an embedded manner. So far, the majority of the opinions favors a consensus that both approaches are relevant and should be used complementarily for optimal results. This book series goes beyond the current literature by providing unique insights into the experience of seasoned academics regarding embedding business ethics into their teaching of the practice of management, especially in the light of new global happenings.

The series provides faculty in business schools with knowledgeable discourse about the current ethical issues within their fields. The book fits into Area 1, educator guides, of the PRME Collection, as a supplementary textbook for the business student (to highlight ethical dilemmas for all the different managerial functional roles covered in the book) and a handbook for business faculty, and promotes PRME principles 1, 2 and 3. For example, a chapter on embedding ethics in teaching operations management in this digital world would be used by faculty and students as a supplement to the usual textbooks for operations management courses.

Principle 1 states: We will develop the capabilities of students to be future generators of sustainable value for business and society at large and to work for an inclusive and sustainable global economy. The ‘Teaching Ethics across the Management Curriculum’ series enables faculty to ensure that their students grasp the moral dimension of running a business whether it be at the moment of drawing up sustainable business plans, of raising finance, of appraising employees, of executing operation strategies, of buying software, or of implementing a customer loyalty plan. This latest addition to the series takes into consideration the ethical questions raised by new realities in today’s world.

Principle 2 states: We will incorporate into our academic activities and curricula the values of global social responsibility as portrayed in international initiatives such as the United Nations Global Compact. This objective of this book is precisely to facilitate this task for faculty.

Principle 3 states: We will create educational frameworks, materials, processes and environments that enable effective learning experiences for responsible leadership. The ‘Teaching Ethics across the Management Curriculum’ series provides a platform for faculty to share their experiences of how to teach ethical profitability with their peers. This contributes to resolving the concerns that faculty in other disciplines may experience when they wish to incorporate ethics into their teaching but may feel that they lack the preparation for doing this or ideas of how to go about it.

Specifically, this call is soliciting chapter proposals from a multidisciplinary array of scholars. Their aim should be to contribute to the knowledge of how to embed ethics in various management disciplines either by sharing knowledge and experiences related to current business realities of a globalized and digitized world, or by providing case studies that embed ethics in the their learning objectives apart from those specified for the course discipline. Thematic ideas about the former are listed in the tentative chapter content segment, below. Regarding the latter, for example, we welcome ethical decision-making cases to be used in teaching Strategy or Business Policy, Decision-Making, Entrepreneurship, Finance, Operations and Service Management, Marketing, Financial Accounting, Cost Accounting, Organizational Behavior, Management Communication, Team Building, Negotiation, Business Leadership, Project Management, Business Law, Macroeconomics, Microeconomics, etc. The multidisciplinary approach of the book is expected to make its content very rich (actual table of contents to be derived from accepted chapter proposals).

The Plan

Schedule for publication of the book:
· Book chapter proposals received: August 15, 2021
· Notification of accepted chapter proposals: August 22, 2021
· Receipt of full book chapters for review: November 28, 2021
· Peer review of book chapters and revision feedback: December 8 – 31, 2021
· Receipt by editors of final draft of book chapters: January 25, 2022
· Book delivered to the publisher: February 14, 2022
· Anticipated publication: August 15, 2022

Please submit your chapter proposal as a Microsoft Word document attached to an email to kogunyemi@lbs.edu.ng no later than August 15, 2021.

We would appreciate a one-page proposal describing your chapter, identifying your discipline and outlining the broad scope of your proposed chapter content (preferably not exceeding 250 words).

Opportunities in the New Paradigm: Expanding the Financial Assets and Real Estate Access

Event Overview

Research shows that households with access to financial information and investment opportunities have greater economic stability. Yet access isn’t equal: White families are more likely to have advantages when buying a first home, often inheriting money from extended family to get started. Once they own a home, these families see improved credit scores and even greater access to credit. Black and Latino families, however, are less likely to have the savings or assets to provide this kind of support, severely limiting their ability to build similar financial foundations.

In this webinar, our panel of experts in behavioral economics, finance, and affordable housing will explore highlights from the Cornell Institute for Household and Behavioral Finance’s (IBHF) 4th Biennial Household and Finance Symposium and what those findings mean for policy change. They’ll discuss how research and practice can promote more inclusive access to credit, wealth, and financial security for all households.

What You’ll Learn

  • Highlights from the IBHF 2021 4th Biennial Household and Finance Symposium
  • The impact of bankruptcy in times of crisis, such as during the COVID-19 pandemic

Opportunities in the New Paradigm: 21st Century Propulsion of Emerging Markets and Innovative Supply Chains

Event Overview

Over the last decade, emerging markets (EM) increased their share of global economic output by 20%, putting more money into the hands of consumers and businesses. Now, new technologies are empowering EM businesses to drive innovation, local development, and global competition. Agriculture is a case in point: Five of the leading agriculture financial technology (fintech) startups were initially formed to close gaps faced by producers and suppliers in Indonesia, Africa, and Latin America.

In this webinar, we’ll learn how these technologies are disrupting agricultural supply chains for the benefit of all players. Our panel will be moderated by Jinhua Zhao, Ph.D., the David J. Nolan Dean of the Charles H. Dyson School of Applied Economics and Management and will feature Lourdes Casanova of the Cornell SC Johnson School of Business Emerging Markets Institute and Pablo Borquez Schwarzbeck, MBA ’15, CEO and co-founder of agriculture fintech leader ProducePay. Together, they’ll explore how technology innovators are connecting EM suppliers directly to international markets, providing access to the data and financing they need to succeed.

What You’ll Learn

  • How companies in emerging markets are rapidly evolving from imitators to leaders in innovation
  • What drives successful innovation in emerging food markets

Opportunities in the New Paradigm: Finance and Sustainability

Event Overview

“Few in government or business today doubt the inherent value of nature or the importance of managing it sustainably,” assert the editors of 2020’s The Little Book of Investing in Nature, a cohort including Cornell Professor of Practice John Tobin-de la Puente. “But once economics rears its head, then the dialogue becomes muffled, and participants start shuffling papers and shifting their eyes nervously.”

At the intersection of sustainability and finance are the hot topics of impact investing, environmental finance and markets, corporate sustainability, and biodiversity investment. In this webinar, Mark Nelson, Dean of the Samuel Curtis Johnson Graduate School of Management, will moderate a discussion between Angela Mwanza, MBA ’00, an SVP of Evergreen Wealth Management at UBS, and Professor Tobin, on the challenges to and benefits from investing for long-term profit and sustainability rather than for short-term gain. Join us to learn how companies can generate measurable social and environmental impact while reaping real financial returns.

This event is part of the Cornell SC Johnson College of Business summer series, “Opportunities in the New Paradigm.”

What You’ll Learn

  • The many ways to understand sustainable finance
  • How impact investing is expanding its reach to new industries
  • What metrics can best define success and achieve accountability

Speakers

  • Angela Mwanza, SVP Evergreen Wealth Management
  • John Tobin-de la Puente, Professor of Practice and Co-Director, Initiative on Responsible Finance
