FIU Business One of the most important conferences on international trade as a host institution in the light | FIU News

In July, FIU Business focused on global business ahead of the world’s leading scholars. The College has served as the host organization for the 2022 Annual Meeting of the International Business Academy (AIB), highlighting recent scholarly discussions on key issues affecting global networks.

The theme of the conference, which was attended by more than 750 scholars, consultants, researchers and representatives of government and non-governmental organizations, was “Beyond pluralism and inclusiveness, fairness and equity in international trade.”

The critical issue facing the majority of citizens in a session is a gap that requires a deeper understanding of age, gender, religion, and ethnicity. As educators, many focus their research on related topics and want to lead the discussion and see the right changes.

“It’s a complex problem, sometimes you have to attack the little ones and demographics are a good place to start, although it’s just the beginning,” said William Newbury, chairman of FIU Business International’s global business department, and Ryder, chairman of the Global Business Scholar. “Different aspects of diversity can come in different contexts and contextual details make a big difference.”

In another panel session, FIU Business Dean William Hardin – joined by Dean Dan Gropper, Dean of the Atlantic University of Florida University – discussed how the skills acquired during the outbreak changed and how they affect the nature of international business education.

“We have a lot of capacity and technological infrastructure,” Hardin said. “The need to create and work with technology is 100% greater than ever before. We must accept or reject technology.

The third panel session focused on the impact of the epidemic on global commodity movement and focused on the relationship between vendors and various parts of the supply chain and systems vulnerabilities.

At the time of the outbreak, e-commerce grew quarterly from 45% to 53% in 2020 and early 2021.

“In logistics, we have been waiting for years to be good,” said Michael White, a FIU executive and president of business network consultants.

He said airlines have changed dramatically as airlines have reduced passenger traffic, increased ocean freight costs, and faced further challenges.

“Air has become a lifeline for people around the world,” White said. “Passenger planes became cargo planes. Today, many airlines are converting those planes into passenger planes.

AIB is the world’s largest and largest non-profit professional association with a wide range of research and teaching interests on topics related to global implications.

Overall, the 2022 AIB meeting featured more than 150 panel sessions and other meetings over three days. On the second night of the conference, FIU Business at the Philippine and Patricia Frost Science Museum hosted a gala event that included international dinners, entertainers, DJs and dancers “One Hot Night in Miami.”

The Logistics Payments and Data Infrastructure Platform PayCargo was the diamond sponsor of the conference. Other sponsors include Florida Warrington Business College and Florida Atlantic University Business College.
