EP30 - Reading China in the Original 1:13:47

6M ago1:13:47

1:13:47

Occasionally you read a book that changes the way you think about a topic or a place. The New China Playbook: Beyond Socialism and Capitalism by Keyu Jin is just such a book and it was great to have her join me on TRIUM Connects.

E29 - China in Latin America 1:02:37

7M ago1:02:37

1:02:37

I am guessing that most of you have heard about Chinese firms and government’s large involvement and investment in Africa. For example, as part of a strategy to secure the resources needed to play a leading role in the economy of the transition from fossil fuels to renewable energy, China has purchased mining rights, mined, and built refineries for…

In the first 5 months of 2023, three banks have failed with a total asset value of $532 billion. Let that sink in – we are in uncharted territory. What is happening and why? Why do we see a kind o…

1:03:30

Upwards Influence – The Art and Science of Being Heard Over the last several decades, more and more leadership research has highlighted the need for leaders to create an environment where disparate and diverse opinions and approaches are elicited and incorporated into decision making.

E26 - Respect Me! The Role of Status Concerns in International Relations 1:07:49

1+ y ago1:07:49

1:07:49

Explanations of individual’s political affiliations which do not take non-material into account are fatally flawed. We simply cannot explain or predict people’s political behaviour without thinking about how support for individuals/parties are affected by, and shape people’s identities, felt exclusion/inclusion, legitimacy, and recognition. However…

E25 - The key to successful innovation = lots and lots of ideas. 1:11:33

1+ y ago1:11:33

1:11:33

Search Amazon for the word ‘innovation’ in its ‘Business, Finance & Accounting’ book section, and you will find more than 60,000 volumes.

E22 - It’s All About the People 1:08:16

2y ago1:08:16

1:08:16

What does being a fabulously successful, early stage VC investor have in common with being a world class CEO? The answer, according to Jihoon Rim, my guest for this episode, is the ability to select the right people and then, largely get out of their way and let them do their jobs. Jihoon, after a stint at Softbank, founded his own VC firm – Kcube …

E21 - Adding a 'P' to ESG 1:14:25

2y ago1:14:25

1:14:25

Over the last 10-20 years we have seen the rise and rise of populist and nationalist movements in democracies across the world. This, in part, reflects a growing dissatisfaction with the state of our democratic institutions. Many people just don’t believe that democracy delivers for them. My guest for this episode is Professor Alberto Alemanno. To …

2y ago1:05:37

1:05:37

I am joined in this episode by Professor Mick Cox of the LSE to discuss the unfolding tragic war in Ukraine. How do we possibly make sense of what is happening? What kind of end can we imagine when losing is not an option for anyone? What does winning or losing even mean in this situation? Is this the end the age of international order, growing pro…

E19 - Social Media and Social Pathology: Why and How to Hold Platforms Responsible for Harm 1:14:47

2y ago1:14:47

1:14:47

I am joined in this episode by Professor Vasant Dhar where we talk about why social media platforms should be regulated and how we would go about doing so. Vasant argues that we have failed to install any rules of the game when it comes to holding platforms responsible for their demonstratable contribution to social ills. This, according to Vasant,…

E18 - Stewards of the Future: Can and Should we Count on Boards to do the Right Thing? 1:13:42

2+ y ago1:13:42

1:13:42

Increasingly, company boards are expected to incorporate environmental, social and governance issues into their strategic choices and performance criteria. How, exactly, should they do this? One approach is to integrate the entire costs/benefits of the firm’s activities, including those which are currently unpaid-for externalities, into its balance…

E17 - Supply Chain Management in Transition: What has COVID taught us about the weaknesses of how we manage supply chains? 1:01:05

2+ y ago1:01:05

1:01:05

How should we view the current crisis in our supply chains? Did the external shock of COVID create severe, but relatively temporary problems? If so, then we should, slowly but surely, see a return to how things were before, with ‘just in time’ principles driving supply chain design and execution. Or, has the crisis revealed fundamental structural w…

E16 - Democratic Dilemmas – When should democratically derived choices in the past bind our current and future democratic choices? 1:10:21

2+ y ago1:10:21

1:10:21

How and when should we decide today what areas of future public policy we are not prepared to trust our future selves to make wisely? In other words, when should we voluntarily constrain our future democratic choices by privileging our current democratic choices? This is the theme of my discussion in this episode with Professor Andrés Velasco, the …

1:17:21

Are we at the start of a new and glorious age of space tourism led by private investment? Is this the first step to a potentially massive space-based economy to support humans in earth’s orbit with colonies on the Moon and Mars? Will all of this be built and financed through private, mega-companies? My guest for this episode is Dr Andrew Aldrin (TR…
