Global growth is becoming harder, but retreating from international markets is not the answer.

Tariffs, geopolitical tensions, regulatory complexity, and fragile supply chains are reshaping how businesses expand across borders.
Marco Donzelli, Global CEO of HLB International, shares how companies can continue pursuing international growth by building greater flexibility, resilience, and local market understanding into their strategies.

Why do wars begin? And what can history teach us about the decisions that drive them?

In his latest Understanding War column for The World Financial Review, Joseph Mazur, Emeritus Professor of Mathematics at Emerson College, examines the deeper forces behind warfare, drawing connections between contemporary conflicts and the lessons embedded in history, literature and human behaviour.

From The Iliad and The Odyssey to modern warfare, Mazur explores the consequences of flawed assumptions, misplaced confidence, strategic failures and the forces that shape decisions to enter and sustain conflict.

His analysis goes beyond the battlefield to consider the political, economic and human forces that influence how wars begin, unfold and ultimately end.

Understanding war requires looking beyond weapons and victories. It requires understanding the people, decisions and forces behind them.

What does effective leadership look like when uncertainty becomes the environment—not the exception?

In his latest article, Shameen Prashantham, Associate Dean at China Europe International Business School, argues that leaders must rethink how they navigate a world shaped by geopolitical shifts, AI disruption and persistent ambiguity.

Rather than waiting for clarity, organisations need to build optionality, proactive partnerships and the institutional capability to continuously sense and adapt.

From Microsoft’s partnership with OpenAI to businesses navigating geopolitical uncertainty, Prashantham shows why the ability to keep options open and adapt may be more valuable than trying to predict what comes next.
