ESMT Bites is a series of bite-sized online lectures designed to give you an authentic preview of the ESMT classroom experience. Each session features one of our distinguished faculty members introducing a core idea from their field, sharing practical insights, and engaging participants in the kind of discussion that defines our degree programs.
Whether you are exploring an MBA or a master’s degree, ESMT Bites gives you a meaningful introduction to our faculty, our academic approach, and our community.
ESMT Bites: June edition
This month’s edition features the lecture “When unethical behavior becomes a team sport in your organization” by Ulf Schäfer, a senior lecturer in strategy at ESMT Berlin. Major corporate scandals like Dieselgate or the Wells Fargo fake accounts do not happen in a vacuum. They require the active participation of dozens, hundreds, or even thousands of people. But how do well-educated, well-meaning employees and managers get swept into large-scale wrongdoing? This session explores unethical behavior as a social phenomenon. Discover how groups and networks subtly reconstruct morality and agency, enabling ordinary professionals to become part of corporate transgressions.

Stewardship and scale are twin driving forces in the growth journey of founder- and family-led businesses. Yet one of the greatest challenges enterprising families face is how to accelerate growth and professionalise their operations and governance—without compromising their long term identity, core values, and control.
As the business landscape evolves amid macroeconomic shifts, geopolitical tensions, and the rise of generative AI technologies, the long-term horizon for family enterprises is being reshaped. Many are now searching for innovative strategic directions and business models for continuity and success across generations.
In this transformation, private capital owners have emerged as strategic allies. Beyond providing funding, they increasingly help families innovate, scale with purpose across markets, and strengthen their competitive edge—futureproofing the family legacy through sustained value creation.
The success of such partnerships, however, is far from guaranteed. It demands mutual alignment, shared intention, and effective governance to deliver enduring, win win outcomes in an increasingly complex environment where agility and stewardship must coexist.
Hosted by INSEAD Wendel International Centre for Family Enterprise, the exclusive INSEAD Family Enterprise Summit will bring together academic experts and leading practitioners to explore critical questions shaping family-private capital partnerships through five key themes:

Innovation, Growth, and Resilience in Family Enterprises
How can family businesses innovate, grow, and stay resilient amid shifting markets and generational transitions?
Strategic Engagement with Private Capital
When and why do family businesses partner with private capital or equity providers, and what drives these strategic decisions?
Evaluating and Attracting the Right Investment Partnerships
How can family enterprises identify aligned investors, build strong relationships, and optimise their strategic options?
Governance and Long-Term Value Creation
What are the different governance frameworks that foster alignment and value-creation among diverse ownership structures in family firms
Next-Generation Leadership and Succession Readiness
How can families nurture leadership continuity and smooth transitions to next generation leaders?

The Summit will highlight how leading business families are taking diverse strategic paths to thrive across generations—leveraging private capital to achieve sustainable growth while upholding stewardship and purpose. The agenda will address evolving ownership models, next generation leadership dynamics, and the alignment of capital, culture, and long term vision.
The Summit is open to members in family enterprises. To foster an atmosphere of trust and confidentiality under the Chatham House Rule, participation by third party advisers will be limited and by invitation only through a participating family business member.
May we encourage you to register as soon as possible to secure your seat and book your hotel accommodation early as demand is high during this period.

In executive circles, the word “purpose” often triggers skepticism. Too frequently, it remains a narrative statement with limited operational impact, or worse, a source of confusion and misalignment.
Yet when properly activated, purpose can become a powerful driver of performance.
Join us on July 2nd at 12:00 PM (CET), for an online masterclass addressing a critical question: how can organizations move from purpose as intent to purpose as a lever for measurable performance?
This session will be led by Rodolphe Durand, Professor at HEC Paris, whose research explores how purpose-driven strategies can unlock collective action and create sustainable competitive advantage. Drawing on the work of the HEC Paris Purpose Center, this masterclass confronts the paradox of purpose head-on. It identifies the common pitfalls that undermine purpose initiatives and provides a structured framework to align purpose with leadership, governance, and execution.

Leaders face a continuous barrage of prescriptions – books, talks and programmes urge them to develop visions, listen to their teams, stay the course in hard times, and communicate. Most leaders know this. Few report that this ‘knowledge’ solves their problems.
INSEAD’s Leadership Excellence through Awareness and Practice (LEAP) programme is designed to help senior leaders bridge this gap.
This six-month journey, including three residential modules with individual and group work, focuses less on telling leaders what to do differently; instead, it enables them to explore how they can be different, to the benefit of themselves, their teams, and their organisations. A central focus of the programme is supporting participants in shifting behaviours in areas that will provide the greatest leverage for their leadership impact.
During the session, Narayan Pant, Programme Director, will share insights into the LEAP experience, its learning approach, and the transformational outcomes participants can expect. Pamela Heo, Programme Advisor, will be able to answer any questions you may have about the programme, as well as the application and admissions process.

The Hidden Cost of Buying Local: Public Procurement and Job Creation
Public procurement, government spending on goods, services, and infrastructure, accounts for roughly 10–15% of GDP in most advanced economies and represents one of the most powerful levers of industrial policy available to governments. Many countries have adopted domestic content requirements and ‘buy local’ preferences in their procurement rules, from the Buy American Act in the United States to Local Jobs First programs in Australia and equivalent schemes across Europe. This lecture reviews the economic evidence on the consequences of such policies for employment, wages, and taxpayer costs. The findings raise important questions about whether procurement is an efficient tool for job creation and industrial policy.

Following in the footsteps of a very successful workshop on accelerating academic research with AI by Santiago Balsiero and a couple of his colleagues at Google (recording and slides will follow soon), we are planning a series of additional workshops on using AI for academic research in the summer and fall. Our next workshop is a two-session workshop led by, our very own, Professors Jesse Schreger and Malek Ben Sliman. The first session (June 24) will focus on an introduction to AI tools for academic research (with an emphasis on Claude). The second session (July 27) will build on the first session and will serve as a hands-on workshop where faculty and doctoral students can bring their own research ideas and data sources to advance their research project, with guidance, during the workshop (see details below). We will record this two-session workshop and possibly repeat it in the fall, if there is sufficient demand, for those who missed it over the summer. Looking forward to seeing over the summer in these workshops, AIB and VDR Session 1 – Introduction to Using AI Tools For Academic Research – June 24 2:00-4:00pm Summary: In this session, we will cover installing and configuring Claude Code, the different ways to work with it (terminal, IDE integration, GUID), pricing and Columbia’s access, model selection, and the key operating modes (plan, accept edits, auto, skip-permissions). We’ll address data sharing and privacy concerns. We will demonstrate how to integrate Claude Code to your workflow across different programming languages (i.e. R, Stata, Python). We will also discuss version control and how to utilize git with Claude. In addition, we will provide suggested “assignments” for coming prepared with your own data to execute your own research in the second session. Takeaways: The goal is to walk out with Claude Code installed and integrated into a research workflow alongside existing tools (Stata, R, Python), with a clear sense of how to start using it for one’s own research. Who is this for: this session is primarily designed for faculty who haven’t yet integrated Claude Code into their day-to-day. Heavier users are welcome but might find session 2 more useful. Those who skip this introductory session should make sure they are prepared to participate in the second session. Session 2 – Using AI in Your Research – July 27th 11:00am-4:00pm Summary: In this session, faculty will execute their own research in real-time using AI tools. Participants will share their ongoing progress and challenges with the group throughout the session. The goal is to see how close to a real research result participants can get during this extended workshop. In addition, this session will introduce more advanced ways to Claude Code in research. Specifically, we will discuss how to extend Claude Code with MCPs, subagents, skills, plugins and API calls. We will help participants learn to work remotely and collectively using Claude Code (e.g., remote control, Claude in the Grid, tmux/zellij/cmux). This is an interactive workshop and time will be provided to help troubleshoot any issue one might encounter. Takeaways: The goal is to leave the workshop knowing how to produce original academic research with an agent-based workflow. Ideally, some of you will even have a new result to build on for a full academic paper. Who is this for: Anyone interested in using AI for research. We hope that advanced users also attend to share their workflow and discuss research methods with their colleagues.
