In this episode, Topi Miettinen shares his view and research on insights from Game Theory on international conflicts. We start discussing different examples of conflicts, e.g.  complex negotiations within the EU and even war. Based on the examples Topi shares his research on the role of commitment to finding agreements. He also shares how his research extends from a bilateral negotiation (as in a war of two parties) situation to a multilateral situation (as in the EU).   Topi Miettinen is professor of economics at Hanken School of Economics and Helsinki Graduate School of Economics. His research focuses on behavioural and experimental economics, microeconomics, and game theory.

In this episode we are joined by Professor Steffen Böhm from University of Exeter School of Business and project PI and Associate Professor Maria Ehrnström-Fuentes from Hanken School of Business. In this conversation we explore carbon markets and how they work (or do not work) and what their connection is to so-called green development. We talk about compliance markets and voluntary markets. In the voluntary carbon markets, anyone can develop a project that plants trees in exchange for carbon credits. There are mechanisms and logics that are not well understood by the general populace that allow highly polluting companies to make themselves look carbon neutral or green through their participation in carbon offsetting. This myopic focus on carbon has developed into a more or less fetishist relationship with carbon and overly simplified measurements that obfuscate the wider social environmental impacts of companies.  Interested to learn more about Steffen's work? https://business-school.exeter.ac.uk/people/profile/index.php?web_id=Steffen_Boehm  Interested to learn more about the TreesForDev Project? www.treesfordev.fi  Resources mentioned in the episode:  Böhm, S., Misoczky, M.

In this episode we are joined by Forrest Fleischman from the University of Minnesota and the project principal investigator, Maria Ehrnstöm-Fuentes from Hanken School of Economics.  Forrest gives us insight into the work he has done in the Indian context in relation to tree planting and the long-term outcomes of tree planting schemes. India has had a long history of tree planting programs, but are they always successful? In the western Himalaya, where Forrest is working about half the planting takes place in areas where trees are already growing and about half takes place in areas where trees are not currently growing and most probably will not successfully grow due to environmental or land use reasons. There is sometimes a disconnect between what the government programs want to accomplish (or what looks good on paper) and the experience on the ground of the best land use—both geographically and for the community living in place. One key in indicator of success is the inclusion of the community and getting their buy-in and participation in the tree planting program. However, more research is needed to figure out how to generate that local participation and where it roots from.  Forrest gives us insight into the mythology of the modern concept that trees everywhere are a good thing. As more people are divorced from earning their living from the land this concept become more and more common. However, this lionization of the forest landscapes devalues the natural and vital landscapes that naturally do not have trees or have only scattered trees. These landscapes are currently being destroyed in support of tree planting to match this prominent environmental narrative.  Resources mentioned in the episode: Veldman, J.W. et al., Tyranny of trees in grassy biomes.

Rethinking ethics in business is more than a set of rules or a list of 'how to.' It's a philosophy that refocuses the value you place in stakeholders instead of just the shareholders. In 1984, Dr. Edward Freeman originally detailed the Stakeholder Theory of organizational management and business ethics that addresses morals and values in managing an organization. Stakeholder Theory is a view of capitalism that stresses the interconnected relationships between a business and its customers, suppliers, employees, investors, communities and others who have a stake in the organization. The theory argues that a firm should create value for all stakeholders, not just shareholders.In today's episode, we sit down with Dr. Freeman to dive deep into this philosophy of business, talk about his new book 'The Power of And' and the new documentary 'Fishing with Dynamite.'

He has held honorary appointments as the Welling Professor at George Washington University and the Gourlay Professorship at the University of Melbourne. Prior to coming to the Darden School, Freeman taught at the University of Minnesota and the Wharton School, University of Pennsylvania.Freeman is the co-author of Bridging the Values Gap (Berrett-Koehler, 2015) Stakeholder Theory: The State of the Art (Cambridge, 2010) and Managing for Stakeholders (Yale, 2007). He is the author or editor of over 30 volumes and 150 articles in the areas of stakeholder management, business strategy, and business ethics.Freeman is perhaps best known for his award-winning book: Strategic Management: A Stakeholder Approach (Cambridge, 2010), originally published in 1984, in which he traced the origins of the stakeholder idea to a number of others and suggested that businesses build their strategy around their relationships with key stakeholders.Freeman has a Ph.D. in philosophy from Washington University and a B.A. in mathematics and philosophy from Duke University. He was recently awarded honorary doctorates (DHC) in economics from Comillas University in Madrid, the Hanken School of Economics in Helsinki, and an honorary doctorate in management from Radboud University in Nijmegen, Netherlands and Sherbrooke University in Canada for his work on stakeholder theory and business ethics.

Young entrepreneurs in Rwanda can now breathe a sigh of relief after the Government and other partners unveiled a new initiative dubbed 'Envisage Youth Agribusiness Incubator Programme', which looks to help the entrepreneurs turn their startups into sustainable and profitable ventures. The program was unveiled on Thursday at the University of Rwanda's College of Agriculture and Veterinary Medicine (UR-CAVM) in Musanze District, Northern Province. The business incubation center for youth in agribusiness is part of an initiative that officials say will remain operational to insure it mentors a critical mass of young entrepreneurs so as to accelerate the country's agriculture growth. The idea was championed by the Rwanda Youth in Agri-Business Forum (RYAF), which has about 12,000 members so far. RAF, which was initiated by five ministries in the last three years to engage youth in agribusiness, is now implementing the project in partnership with the University of Rwanda, Business Development Fund (BDF), and three Finland-based universities which will be assisting the local youth to acquire high tech knowledge in entrepreneurship. The universities are Hanken School of Economics, University of Helsinki and Aalto University. Patrice Habinshuti, RYAF Capacity Building Manager, said that the incubator program will equip youth with relevant knowledge and other incentives for their respective businesses to thrive. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/newscast-africa/support Learn more about your ad choices.

Some people find VR to be a solitary experience – too lonely to ever really be a place that humans can feel comfortable in. Well, tell that to Alan, when he met today’s guest – Kalle Saarikannas from Glue – in Glue’s virtual reality chatroom. Despite being continents apart, it felt like they were face-to-face. Kalle sits down again with Alan – this time, without the avatars – to explain why he wants to make Glue a household name. Alan: Today’s guest is Kalle Saarikannas, business development manager for Glue, a new collaboration platform — and I’ll let him talk more about it — but Kalle is a 26-year-old combination of curiosity for emerging technology and commercial sense, making innovations a reality. Glue is a multi-user, multi-device, virtual reality hosting platform that is redefining the future of remote collaboration. Prior to Glue, the pioneer of XR remote collaboration, Kalle was working closely with intelligent packaging, RFID sensor tech, mobile augmented reality, and RFID solutions for B2B and Consumer Engagement Solutions. He’s built a strong, built-in entrepreneurial mindset, and established his first business at age 15. He has a master’s degree in business management from Hanken School of Economics, and an expression of his interest towards XR technology. He wrote a master’s thesis about XR tech, “Immersive Virtual Reality and Training, Using VR in the Facilitation of Learning.” His free time is spent volunteer firefighting in Helsinki, Finland. To learn more about Kalle and Glue, you can visit www.glue.work. Kalle, welcome to the show; so excited to have you. Kalle: Yeah. Thank you, Alan, for having me on — and Glue — in the show. Alan: It’s really wonderful. I had the opportunity to try your platform back in New York during… there was a conference, I can’t remember what the conference was, but we we’re speaking at it, and I got an amazing chance to meet with your colleague, Jani. And he got to show me the Glue platform — which, for the people listening — imagine putting on a VR headset, and it doesn’t have to be the most fancy headset. They’ll work with all of them. You put it on, and now you’re standing in a room. Like, you and I had a conversation — you were in Finland, I was in New York — and we had a conversation as if we were standing in the same room together. Kalle: Yeah, I remember that. It was quite fascinating to me, too. For the first time in virtual reality, we were having an eye contact with each other, although we were some 4,000 miles apart, in different continents. Alan: It’s really cool. So, maybe describe the Glue platform, and what your vision is for this. Kalle: As you mentioned in the intro, Glue is a software; a system for live mobile device virtual reality collaboration. We’re not just a virtual reality platform, but we also support desktop users, mobile phones, iPads, and we provide a whole service for having meetings in virtual environments. Basically, our business model is that we are building a platform which operates in a software as a service model, by offering the client access to persistent virtual spaces that can be customized to the needs of the client. Let’s say a enterprise wants to — that has a lot of remote meetings using traditional remote softwares, such as Skype for Business or Google Hangouts, which are based on two-dimensional screens. You’re having video calls, you can see the other from the camera — instead of that, we offer three-dimensional virtual spaces, that you can really feel the presence of other people, although you are sitting on a different continent, miles apart.

In this episode, David A. Simon, Project Researcher at the Hanken School of Economics and Visiting Assistant Professor at the University of Kansas School of Law, discusses his article "Analogies in IP: Moral Rights," which will be published in the Yale Journal of Law and Technology. Simon begins by explaining what "moral rights" are in copyright law, and how they differ from the traditional economic justifications for copyright protection. He then explains the different ways in which we use analogical reasoning in the law, primarily for the purpose of prediction and illustration. He identifies the analogies commonly used to illustrate moral rights and asks whether they are helpful or misleading. And he argues that moral rights analogies are used primarily for rhetorical purposes, rather than explanation. Simon is on Twitter at @David_Simon.
