Internacionalización y Estrategia Global — Cómo las empresas navegan la complejidad institucional, el riesgo geopolítico y la diversidad regulatoria en su expansión internacional.
Geopolítica y Empresa — Cómo los cambios en el orden político global, la propiedad estatal, el nacionalismo económico y la fragmentación regulatoria reconfiguran la estrategia corporativa y las prioridades de los consejos.
