Introduction

Many business schools across the world have now started teaching a course on Geopolitics. The purpose is to help the future managers understand the nuances of doing business in a complex global environment. FORE School of Management too has led this effort of teaching Geopolitics to management students since 2012 – almost 10 years now. Today, the business environment is facing uncertainty and disruptions due to the impact of pandemic as well as geopolitical volatility across the globe – whether it is due to the Russia-Ukraine war or the U.S.-China rivalry. It is thus imperative that businesses – whether big or small – need to identify and assess geopolitical risks for formulating improved business models and strategy. Such an understanding will also help future managers in better decision-making, developing a geopolitically correct business model, and in helping enhance national participation in global value chains. With this intent, FORE School of Management is organising a Faculty Development Program (FDP) to enhance knowledge sharing and contribute to innovative and industry-oriented curriculum development for management students. This program would help the faculty members in analyzing geopolitical issues and risks and to help prepare their students to be solution-centric in the wake of a geopolitically uncertain business environment.

Objectives

a) Enhancing preparedness of faculty members in understanding the significance of geopolitics for managerial decision-making in identifying geopolitical risks affecting or likely to affect their business interests.

b) Helping professionals and business persons make informed business decisions in a geopolitically volatile business environment.
