To all emlyon alumni:
We sincerely invite you to attend the emlyon alumni: Connect the World event to be held in Shanghai on 23 May.
We are honored to invite David Gosset, an expert in international relations, a noted Sinologist, and founder of the China-Europe-Ameria Global Initiative, to deliver a speech. Topic: From Megatrends to Strategy: Business Development and Organizational Leadership in an Evolving Global System.He will offer an analytical framework for understanding the interplay of major global trends, including demographic shifts, technological transformation, societal change, and geopolitical realignment.
The lecture places business development and organizational leadership within the broader perspective of the global system. It will examine the underlying structural drivers of these trends and assess their far-reaching implications for China and the world in an international environment marked by rising complexity and deepening interdependence. The goal is to help the audience move beyond short-term fluctuations and localized competition, and to develop a more strategic, long-cycle, and systemic way of thinking.
