| Upcoming Immersions |
Gies Online would like to share an update on the upcoming virtual immersions schedule. Due to faculty scheduling conflicts, we are unable to host a virtual immersion on July 13-26, 2022. However, we are thrilled to announce that Gies Online is headed to Seattle! Mark your calendars for an in-person immersion on August 2-6, 2022!
Seattle has become a hub for innovation and technological advancement in many different sectors. However, with such rapid growth, Seattle currently faces many socio-economic challenges as it learns to keep pace with their recent economic boom. This 3-day/4-night immersion is designed to immerse Gies iDegree students in Seattle’s business climate, focusing heavily on one industry and business challenge.
In this highly interactive course, Gies students will work in teams to solve a current business challenge for a Seattle-based business. You will also meet and learn from multiple stakeholders across different companies within metropolitan Seattle. And lastly, you will have plenty of time to network with your iDegree classmates! We hope you’ll consider joining us, save the dates on your calendar, and stay tuned for more details towards the end of May. |
| Ivy Exec Webinar: Multiculturalism and its Consequences for Marketing & Management |
Presented by Maria Rodas, Assistant Professor of Business Administration
May 17, 11am CT | Register here
In a globalized world, multiculturalism is on the rise. This is not only fueled by migration patterns, but also by the increasing knowledge of local consumers about multiple cultures. Multicultural consumers develop certain unique characteristics. Specifically, through their cultural experiences, multicultural consumers develop greater cognitive flexibility, which refers to the ability to simultaneously consider multiple conflicting representations of a single object or event and to make uncommon associations. This increased cognitive flexibility can lead to more creativity, given the increased flexibility in framing the same problem in different ways, as well as to preferences for certain types of brands, for example, brands with contradictory meanings. |
