Center for Culture and Creativity in International Business
Culture determines where, when, and why we do business and what sorts of activities we engage in. Creativity is a major determinant in how we do business, and creative industries push the boundary of culture and management.
International business needs to take into account a changing world, where culture enables as well as constrains and creativity expands our horizons and changes the future of work. C3IB, as a novel research center, explores these issues and more: inter-cultural management and business, consumer behavior, creative systems, luxury and luxury management, and digitalization and what it means for the firm and for the individual. With geographic experience in Europe and Asia, and a focus on trends affecting international business, our researchers are on the cutting edge of topics affecting the modern firm.
