“Consequences of a Shrinking World,” a presentation by Corey Kiefer, chair of China Global Media Group, is scheduled for Thursday, Oct. 22, from noon to 1 p.m., in the Memorial Union Century Theater. The presentation is part of the World iView speaker series.
Kiefer’s presentation highlights historically distant and disconnected countries and cultures around the globe, which are now more interconnected and interdependent than ever. While this creates many opportunities within the areas of business and trade, it also creates challenges for business people as they are increasingly more exposed to radically different cultural customs and psychologies.
Kiefer has had a diverse business career as an entrepreneur and executive manager in strategic business and content development with companies in the product marketing, entertainment, new media and Internet industries in both the United States and Asia.
The World iView speaker series is sponsored by the Office of International Programs. For more information, contact Sara Johnson at sara.j.johnson@ndsu.edu or 1-7895.
