Seminar: Organizations in an Unpredictable World
On April 11, Nordic Centre at Fudan University will host a full-day seminar in collaboration with BI Norwegian Business School on how public and private organizations relate to uncertain external change. The seminar will feature Chinese and Nordic researchers exploring how various kinds of institutions perceive and manage uncertainty in a world of crises, such as financial ones, environmental ones, trade wars, economic crimes, and ethical violations.
How do organizations develop and change when faced with extreme uncertainty? And how does uncertainty affect innovation, human capital, and ethics — across cultural boundaries?
