"The Cost of Conflict": Christopher Hartwell on RTÉ Radio 1

What risks do global conflicts pose for international business? Christopher Hartwell, Head of the ZHAW International Management Institute, spoke about this on Irish radio.

“Things started going downhill in terms of globalisation after the global financial crisis in 2007 and 2008. Covid really supercharged this protectionist impulse with populist leaders around Europe, around the world. The supply chain fragility that was evidenced as a secondary effect of the pandemic exposed just how fragile the global trading order really is.”
 

As international conflicts become more frequent, geopolitics is increasingly a critical risk factor for businesses. Joining host Richard Curran to discuss this on the Irish radio show “The Business” is Christopher Hartwell, Head of the ZHAW International Management Institute and an expert in global business risk.
