‘Every business school wants to have and works hard to cultivate more of a global presence, so this is a very important anchor for us into South America,’ said J.B. Kurish, senior associate dean for executive education. ‘One of the things we will be doing in executive education is increasingly looking to relationships in different continents. It’s like anything else — it’s easier to develop those relationships when you’ve got a track record of something that has worked well.’

“A beautiful age cohort has a fat middle,” the professor told a Kiwanis Club of Atlantaluncheon downtown on its annual Consular Corps Day April 28.

That “fat middle” is not adipose, but rather composed of a hard working population in its prime years that is saving and investing, he said, in sharp contrast to the countries with inverted pyramids showing narrower middles due to low birth rates and lots of retirees.

Jagdish Sheth is bullish on India. The Emory University marketing professor says the time is ripe for the country to seize the moment to flex its manufacturing muscle — just like China did decades ago and the United States did after its Civil War.

‘There is no better time than now.’ said Dr. Sheth, the Charles H. Kellstadt professor of marketing at Emory’s Goizueta Business School.

Goizueta Business School’s Global Perspectives Program in co-sponsorship with Emory University Department of Economics and The Halle Institute for Global Learning, recently welcomed Ali Babacan, deputy prime minister for economic and financial affairs of the Republic of Turkey to the Emory University campus.

Babacan’s lecture shared the pressing need for political leaders and institutions to address the lack of confidence within the economy today. He highlighted many of the international relationships, organizations, and investments that have allowed Turkey to expand its regional influence.

“‘During those beginning years, I would say the big question was when Turkey is going to be ready for the European Union, but now, today, the question is when the European Union is going to be ready,’ Mr. Babacan said to laughter and applause from a packed house at Emory University’s Goizueta Business School April 15.”*

Prior to Babacan’s address, guests heard from M. Rifat Hisarcıklıoğlu, president for the union of chambers and commodity exchanges of Turkey. Hisarcıklıoğlu shared Turkey’s aspiration to parallel the global opportunities and expand entrepreneurial activities of cities such as Atlanta. Additionally he focused on the important role of educational relationships such as the one between Emory University and Turkey.

While the future of the global economy remains much in debate, the clear takeaway is to see Turkey as an expanding opportunity for business potential.
