Center for Culture and Creativity in International Business
Firms increasingly operate both globally and locally. They balance innovation and tradition, long- and short-term visions as well as risks and opportunities. International managers need to take into account a changing world, where culture enables as well as constrains actions while creativity broadens business horizon.
The Centre for Culture and Creativity in International Business (C3IB) specializes in cross-cultural collaboration. The Centre focuses on how individuals, groups, and organizations manage cross-cultural collaborations with multiple stakeholders to foster inclusive interactions. Those include people of different national cultures, ethnicities, disciplines, genders and abilities, and socioeconomic groups. Digitalization and the new world of work are enablers of cross-cultural collaboration. With geographic experience in Europe and Asia, C3IB is at the cutting edge of topics affecting firms active in foreign markets.
