Day One

• Introduction: Geopolitics for Business Leaders.
• Economic vulnerabilities in the age of Trump and Xi.
• Europe stumbles along.
• North and South America in an awkward embrace.

Day Two

• China’s re-mergence as a global power.
• Africa rising: Will it be the next China?
• The Middle East on the brink of war and peace at the same time.
• Building resilience business in a turbulent world.

The highly concentrated, two-day format was chosen to allow such people to carve out sufficient time to gain an understanding of the issues at a fairly high, conceptual level, while at the same time allowing for deep discussion of the implications for their particular business interests.

The course may also be of limited interest to diplomats, security analysts and specialized journalists who routinely deal with the issues raised in the program but do so from a political and social, rather than a business perspective.

1. Participants must complete and submit the online application (New York).

3. The participant pays tuition (payment must be made before the start of the course and before prior study materials are sent). This is an essential prerequisite for participating in the program.
4. Three weeks before the start of the program, participants will receive an email with a username giving them access to IESE’s Virtual Campus, where initial study materials will be available.
