How geopolitical factors influence corporate behavior and descisions.
In recent years the influence of geopolitics on the economy has changed significantly. It has become more volatile and disruptive. Not only large corporations, but also small and medium-sized enterprises in many countries around the world are now feeling the direct or indirect impact of factors such as scarce resources, energy shocks, wars or tariffs on their businesses.
Many companies are currently working flat out to develop their geopolitical ‘muscle’ and strengthen the resilience of their value chains. This involves not only developing new strategies or running through scenarios, but also setting up geopolitical departments to address these issues.
This is why the ‘Center for Geopolitics and Corporate Strategy’ was founded at the University of St.Gallen. Here, professors from the disciplines of International Affairs, International Economics, Law & Taxation, Artificial Intelligence & Cybersecurity, and Strategic Management are working together. This core team is complemented by a circle of further experts.

Reimagining a Legacy Brand Through Culture and Communication Open Day Case Session
If you seek to sharpen your vision and ability to drive corporate performance in today’s uncertain climate, don’t miss our October 6, 2026 @2.00pm CEST online session on IESE’s Advanced Management Program (AMP) to help you navigate uncertainty moving forward and discover new ways to drive change and make your mark defining a new world. Professor Vardit Landsman from IESE Business School will lead an interactive case discussion on Barbie, Mattel’s iconic brand, and the strategic choices facing the company leading to the global launch of the 2023 Barbie movie and Siamak Rostamian, International Executive Programs Director, will outline the Advanced Management Program structure and AMP alumni who will join us to share their experience.
In this session, participants will step into the role of Lisa McKnight, Mattel’s Chief Brand Officer, and examine how a legacy brand can respond to criticism, reshape its cultural meaning, and reconnect with both consumers and decision-makers. The discussion will explore how Mattel used the movie not simply to ‘milk’ IP rights, but as a powerful communication platform capable of changing brand associations, reigniting nostalgia, and potentially building a new form of brand fandom.
