CIB Highlights
The Center for International Business coordinates a variety of special events with a global business theme. We call these distinctive programs "Highlights."Many of these events are collaborations between the CIB and a student club or a student group who has shown great interest and understanding of an international issue or region.

Socially Responsible Global Supply Chains
Global Sourcing: Balancing Profits, Risk, and Responsibility
April 26 – 29, 2010
In today’s economy, our clothes may be made from Uzbek cotton, sewn in Indonesia and then shelved at The Gap. The coffee we buy might start with Nicaraguan farmers but eventually ends up in the coffee pots at Byrne. During these transitions, how do multinational firms balance the pursuit of profits with labor and environmental concerns, and should they be doing so? Is “doing well by doing good” a simple myth, or is it reality for today’s global businesses?
Africa
