[Lecture Overview]

Geoeconomic risks are rising worldwide, with regional conflicts and supply chain disruptions occurring in Ukraine, Israel, Iran, and beyond. Unprecedented situations such as Trump-era tariffs and concerns over a Taiwan contingency are becoming frequent. In an environment where traditional diplomatic and economic norms no longer apply, how effectively are frontline corporate operations responding to economic security challenges?

This seminar aims to address common corporate concerns such as 'We understand the concept, but don't know what specific actions to take' and 'We tried, but encountered obstacles and couldn't move forward.' Drawing on over 30 years of practical experience at a trading company, the speaker will provide high-resolution, frontline know-how and explain how to implement economic security effectively within corporate management, taking into account internal organizational challenges.
