Teaser
In today’s globalized world, international managers face a growing array of challenges, and among the most pressing are the increasing number of international sanctions. These sanctions, whether imposed by the United Nations, the United States, the European Union, China, or other entities, are no longer just an occasional hurdle; they are now a critical factor that companies with global operations must carefully navigate. Ignoring them can lead to significant legal, financial, and reputational risks, making it imperative for businesses to integrate sanctions compliance into their strategic planning.
To address this urgent issue, KEDGE Business School is hosting a debate focused on the complexities of international sanctions.
This event promises to shed light on the topic through the insights of two distinguished experts. Ambassador François Rivasseau, with his extensive experience in multilateral diplomacy, will provide a deep dive into the political dimensions of sanctions.
On the other hand, President Marc Cathelineau, who has firsthand experience managing the impact of various sanctions regimes, will discuss the economic and business implications. Together, they will offer a comprehensive overview that equips international managers with the knowledge and tools needed to effectively navigate this challenging landscape.
This debate represents a unique opportunity to engage with the intricacies of international sanctions, understanding not just their origins and enforcement, but also how they can influence and even reshape global business strategies.
