Managing Cross-Border Trade In An Uncertain World

In today’s business landscape, the US-China tech rivalry, increased tariff and non-tariff barriers and digital technologies all create challenges and opportunities for businesses as they engage in cross-border trade. Global value chains are also undergoing profound changes. To deal with this – both from a strategic planning and risk-management perspective – decision-makers must acquire a broad understanding of the geopolitical, economic and other transformative forces shaping business ecosystems throughout Asia and beyond.

The Hinrich Foundation and NUS Business School’s Centre for Governance, Institutions and Organisations (CGIO) have partnered to create a timely and compelling workshop series to assist with that. The curriculum is designed to motivate strategic thinkers, policy makers and other key stakeholders to rethink their approaches to cross-border trade, learn how to anticipate the next wave of disruptions and identify the new opportunities.

Conducted by experienced trade thought leaders, policy makers and influential practitioners, this specially-designed program will foster a deep and integrated appreciation for the dynamics impacting regional and intra-regional business and trade flows between Asia and the rest of the world. Participants will benefit from a useful tool-kit of ideas and thought-frameworks which will inform future trade optimization strategies, risk management and policy formulation.

Programme fees SGD$4, 250 (20% early bird discount applies before 15 September 2019). Fee is inclusive of GST and includes tuition, course material and food and beverage (lunch and 2 teas).
