In this presentation, I reflect on my experience as a Summer Student Administrator for Osler, Hoskin & Harcourt LLP where I acquired skills such as proficiency in various software and data analysis as well as professional communication, confidence, and organization. I applied these skills daily to produce quality work, and I am still applying these skills to my academic and personal life almost a year later. The culminating experience of the summer was presenting my own data analysis to a group of executives, which helped me improve my presentation skills and foster confidence in my own abilities. In addition to making valuable connections, I became more comfortable with networking. Overall, I was able to acquire both hard and soft skills, as well as improve my confidence and communication abilities, which will be extremely valuable to my career pursuits.

This report illustrates my experiential-learning opportunities, which took the form of two internships. In the summer of 2021, I worked as a marketing intern at Speak Fluent Speech Services, a speech clinic that provides speech and communication training for adults. Aside from designing posters for the clinic’s social-media campaigns, I also had the opportunity to write creative and professional copy and compile a campaign's key performance metrics into a marketing report. In my second internship, I was a research student in the Undergraduate Student Research Internship (USRI) program in the Anthropology department. In this internship, I conducted linguistics anthropology research on the language and discursive themes that are used to discuss anti-racism through verbal art performances, including rap, songs, and spoken word on TikTok and YouTube. Despite facing the challenges of group work in a remote environment, I found both experiences valuable in helping me develop my time management and team communication skills. Furthermore, I also delved into the features of various blogging, research, and content management software, where I learned to develop promotional materials for a wide range of audiences, analyze metrics and patterns from marketing campaigns, and organize thematic codes using a qualitative research analysis platform. Putting marketing and research in conversation, both internships taught me the importance of idea connection and experimentation and keeping an open mind to new ways of thinking and learning.

Questions: Why are we interested in the question of MSMEs and cyber readiness? Linking it to the SME Programme at ITU (Rahul) and WTO MSME Informal Working Group (Kathryn) Evolution of the digital economy and how digital trade has evolved over the past 10-20 years (literature review, see UNCTAD and OECD) What is “digital” (review of the many definitions from UN Agencies/OECD etc. and what our papers' focus will be)? What is cyber readiness for MSMEs in this context? (Academic Researcher + Digital SMEs perspectives) Theoretical conceptualisation of Cyber readiness as a formative or reflective latent variable. (to be decided upon literature review) Is cyber readiness the same as business digitalization; how do these concepts differ from digital transformation, digitisation etc.? How do others define it? What definition will we use (it might be a function of what data are available) What cyber readiness is required for international trade participation? What do MNCs require, and what is needed, in terms of cyber readiness in order for MSMEs to participate in GVCs? MSME participation in digital trade and the need for cyber readiness (e.g., cyber readiness can be a determinant of MSME participation in trade (various presentations received on cyber readiness to WTO MSME Group WTO | Informal Working Group on Micro, Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (MSMEs)), either as part of domestic value chains, to participate in e-commerce where digital platforms can facilitate international transactions by firms of any size, or to participate in digital trade including digital services that is an area where MSMEs can excel (for example with born global firms)).

Research on corporate greenwashing has expanded rapidly in recent years. At the same time, emerging studies in related literatures have found that employees are seeking out firms that are social and environmental leaders, and employee activism within firms is growing. However, the effect of firms’ exaggeration and misrepresentation of environmental claims, or greenwashing, on their own employees has been overlooked. Accordingly, we investigate greenwashing from an organizational psychology lens, exploring the impact it can have on employees, and whether these effects differ for different types of employees. Using data collected at three separate time points from a sample of employees educated in environmental science/sustainability, our results show that greenwashing was positively related to perceptions of corporate hypocrisy, which in turn, resulted in higher turnover intentions. We also found that these relationships were moderated by employees’ level of environmental education. By uncovering the deleterious effects greenwashing can have for employees and, by extension, for their employers, these findings generate insights into the extent to which corporate environmental communications can backfire.

According to Sedlmeier and Renkewitz (2018, S. 615) the replication crisis’ key study is the so-called Reproducibility Project: Psychology (OSC, 2015). It shows that only 36% of the examined studies can be replicated successfully, in other words: with a significant effect like in the original study. For this reason, we are interested in finding out if Westerman et al. (2018) results can be replicated. Prior studies (Ilgen, Fisher, & Taylor, 1979) (Sussman & Sproull, 1999) discovered that feedback is essential to increase employee’s performance. Knowing this, the study researches the influence of valence, synchronicity and channel of feedback on the perception of the supervisor, competence and credibility. Being admired, seen as competent and respected by one’s staff results in the supervisor being seen as more effective (Yukl & Falbe, 1991) and increases their work satisfaction.

The transparent handling of sustainability information of organizations and its perception by stakeholders play a crucial role in the promotion of a sustainable development. Yet, academics and managers lack a tool for measuring the perceptions of organizational sustainability transparency. This research explores how it can be assessed. For this purpose, items were created considering the twofold nature of the construct. The scale uses a three-dimensional conceptual approach for sustainability (social, environmental, economic) and for transparency (disclosure, clarity, accuracy) as a theoretical basis. In a first step the material and the items were generated, pretested and reviewed by experts of the field. To develop and to validate a reliable scale the present study aims at testing the items for a preliminary measure assessment.

This study aims to investigate whether the intentionality of a green enhancement (that is, a company strategically making their product more sustainable) influences its perceived quality, resource reallocation and consumers' purchasing intention.

Wirausaha bisnis properti menjadi primadona dalam 4 tahun terakhir. Badan Koordinasi Penanaman Modal menyatakan realisasi investasi PMDN (Penanaman Modal Dalam Negeri) dan PMA (Penanaman Modal Swasta) sektor real estate, konstruksi serta perhotelan mengalami peningkatan yang signifikan sejak tahun 2010, dimana tahun 2013 mencapai Rp. 28,758 trilyun (BKPM, 2013). Bursa Efek Indonesia mencatat nilai kapitalisasi pasar (market cap) untuk sektor properti, real estate, dan konstruksi mencapai Rp 234,531 Trilyun (BEI, 2013). Survey Bank Indonesia menunjukkan dalam 3 tahun terakhir terjadi peningkatan yang signifikan dalam harga jual unit strata title di Jabodetabek, Banten dan Bandung untuk segmen perkantoran, ritel, kondominium dan lahan industri, serta peningkatan tarif sewa properti komersial dan tarif hotel bintang 3, 4 dan 5 (BI, 2013). Boston Consulting Group dalam risetnya menyatakan salah satu faktor pendorong belanja konsumen dalam bentuk pemilikan/investasi properti adalah meningkatnya jumlah kelas menengah di Indonesia saat ini mencapai 74 juta jiwa dan tahun 2020 akan mencapai 141 juta jiwa (BI, 2013). Sehingga dipastikan bisnis properti akan menjadi andalan investasi dalam 10-20 tahun yang akan datang dibutuhkan wirausaha baru agar bisnis properti ini semakin berkualitas dan kompetitif. Peluang bisnis properti semakin luas dengan terbukanya pemerintah daerah untuk bekerjasama agar diperoleh peningkatan pendapatan daerah. Otonomi daerah melalui Undang-undang nomor 22/1999 dan nomor 34/2004 menuntut pemerintah propinsi, kabupaten dan kota melakukan inovasi peningkatan pendapatan daerah, hal tersebut terlihat pada Anggaran Pendapatan Belanja Daerah tahun 2013 dengan defisit keuangan daerah mencapai Rp 54,217 Trilyun (Kemendagri, 2013). Potensi pendapatan daerah seharusnya mampu menutupi defisit bila melihat laporan neraca pemerintah daerah se-Indonesia pada tahun 2010 terdapat aset tanah pemda senilai Rp 558,456 Trilyun dan aset gedung/bangunan pemda senilai Rp 228,343 Trilyun (Kemendagri, 2010). Pengembangan ekonomi daerah dapat berupa kolaborasi antara Pemerintah Pusat, Pemerintah Daerah, BUMN, BUMD, dan Swasta. Public-Private Partnership (Kerjasama Pemerintah-Swasta) menjadi salah satu solusi pembangunan daerah guna tercapainya peningkatan perekonomian wilayah dan telah terbukti di beberapa negara tetangga antara lain di Malaysia dan Singapore

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, online food retail experienced rapid growth. This setting of growth may potentially influence the healthfulness of food purchases and food-related disparities associated with accessibility, availability, and pricing. The objective of this scoping review is to understand the current landscape of online food retailing in the real world. This review seeks to answer, but is not limited to, the following questions: -What is the availability of online food retail? Who uses online food retail and how/why do they use it? -What kinds of food products are sold in online food retail, and how does the availability of different food products compare to brick-and-mortar stores? -What pricing, promotion, and placement tactics are the food industry using to promote their products in online food retail? -What are the unique aspects of online food retail compared to brick-and-mortar stores (e.g., the food industry’s ability to personalize the advertising that each shopper is exposed to and the buying and selling of consumer data)?

The question of this research is whether framing future generations in terms of kinship has the potential to induce intergenerational beneficence in a climate change collective action setting. In this online survey experiment, a between-subject research design is used to study the effects of framing future generations (kinship framing / intergenerational framing / control) on intergenerational beneficence using a modified version of the collective-risk social dilemma game. Moreover, the study aims to test the underlying mechanisms that may mediate the kinship framing effect (decreased temporal distance and increased felt responsibility for and affinity with future generations) by countering the temporal and social elements of intergenerational discounting.

Fear is something everybody feels, but does it always have to be a negative sentiment? In this presentation, I explain how I turned fear into a positive emotion and used it as motivation. Turns out that fear is not the enemy, you yourself are. You do not have to fight against fear; you can live with it (after all, it is a natural and common emotion). I discuss my internships at the Forest City Film Festival as a concierge and content/marketing intern, where I could barely muster up the courage to apply, and Osborne Holdings, where I learned how to manage my fear and turn it into something positive. I learned that the best way to manage your fear is to identify its roots, find something that is familiar, and try to take comfort in the unknown. The more you practice examining your fears, the more you will get comfortable with, and draw motivation, from those feelings.

This paper addresses the strategic and environmental adaptation of the World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE), the undisputed leader in the professional wrestling and sports entertainment industry. With over three decades of dominance, the WWE surpassed $1 billion in revenues and continues to produce live content in new ways, which successfully increased audience interaction and engagement. As the WWE continued to adapt its business to the changing media environment during the global pandemic of COVID-19, it completed an important agreement to license its WWE Network content to Peacock. The agreement is expected to expand the reach of its brands and enhance the value of its content. Despite these achievements, the company must address key issues. They coalesce in the need to develop a business model to reach its targets better than its competitors, and to improve current business practices to support future growth opportunities. This paper addresses the key issues prevalent in WWE today and proposes viable recommendations, such as the implementation of audits by management to help mitigate or prevent the issue of gender wage-gap, the pursuit of mergers and acquisitions with its competitors, and the engagement of its fans in the metaverse to develop a novel Story Mode Initiative. Finally, key recommendations for further research and a summary of the main contributions are provided.

Purpose This paper aims to contribute to the regionalisation–globalisation debate in international business (IB) by providing a longitudinal analysis of firm-level multinationality. The analysis uses a unique hand-collected data set of both accounting (sales) and non-accounting (subsidiaries) data. The percentage of foreign sales is also used as an additional measure of multinationality. Design/methodology/approach This paper categorises constituent firms of the Financial Times Stock Exchange 350 index over an 18-year time period from 1998 to 2015. Firms are categorised using the multinationality classification system developed by Aggarwal et al. (2011). The paper also conducts an industrial analysis across ten industries. Findings The evidence shows increasing multinationality over time that suggests a “trans-regional” operational strategy rather than a global or regional one. The results also show that UK firms are more multinational based on subsidiaries than sales. This contradicts the traditional stages theory of internationalisation where firms first expand sales, then subsidiaries. While some support for triad regions is found, there is also evidence of firm-level operations expanding beyond the triad regions of North America, Asia and Europe to non-triad regions such as Africa, Oceania and South America. The industrial analysis shows that non-service firms are more multinational than service firms. Originality/value To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this is the first paper to provide an in-depth longitudinal analysis of the geographical dispersion using both sales and subsidiaries data for UK firms. This paper provides a unique perspective on the regionalisation–globalisation debate in IB and presents evidence contrary to traditional stages theories of firm-level internationalisation.

PurposeThis paper aims to present an interpretation of freehand drawings produced by a sample of final year degree level learners in response to the question: “What is civic engagement”? The aim in using this approach, with final year degree learners from different countries, but pursuing the same degree, was to compare and contrast their understanding of civic engagement.Design/methodology/approachLearners completed their drawings and then discussed their drawings in small groups. All of their drawings were initially examined quantitatively before a sample of six drawings were selected for in-depth qualitative examination.FindingsUsing learner-generated drawings enables learners convey visually what can be challenging to verbalise. After the exercise, some learners discovered that they had a good basic appreciation of civic engagement.Research limitations/implicationsDescribing civic engagement pictorially forced participants to think about what the essence of civic engagement was for them.Originality/valueThis study shows how a collaborative learning experience, rather than a competitive comparison of performance, facilitates learners readily demonstrating their level of understanding and appreciation for civic engagement.

I certainly learned about communications as a communications intern, and I certainly learned about copywriting as an intern copywriter at Osborne Holdings. However, what resonates the most with me a year after completing my experiential learning credits are not job-focused skills. Instead, what resonates the most with me are the things I learned about responsibility, valuing my skillset, and leadership. As an intern with SASAH, I learned that communication is not just a skill; it is a responsibility. I learned this as I ran the SASAH Instagram page through a school year that was cut short because of the COVID-19 virus, followed by an anxiety-ridden summer and a school year full of social distancing and online classes. As an intern copywriter, I worked directly with the founder of Osborne Holdings. For eight weeks I had the unique opportunity to watch an expert at his craft developing and implementing marketing strategies for various international clients. In doing so, I learned about what true leadership looks like. Today, with two internships behind me, I am confident in the value that my peers and I will bring into the workforce as humanities graduates. The world needs communicators and the world needs socially conscious leadership now more than ever. I am proud and excited to see all that my peers will accomplish.

This presentation will reflect upon my experiential learning experiences of interning at The Walrus and at Hive Media Group. The opportunity to work with a company as revolutionary as The Walrus and gain experience in the rapidly changing online publishing industry was an honour. I loved being a Digital Intern at The Walrus as it combined my passion for storytelling, interest in web development and production, and content strategy. I also loved working for Hive Media Group as a Mergers and Acquisitions Intern. M&A allowed me to work within a large ecosystem of sales, operations, and project management, and move around in tangential job functions. The hands-on learning experiences I gathered at Hive will be critical for my future endeavours.
