The Future of International Business and Education
Wittenborg Vice-President Ron Tuninga Gives Inspiring Speech at HAN Inauguration
What are the most important trends influencing the global economy at the moment and what impact will they have on the future of international business, education and research? This is the question unpacked by Professor Dr Ron Tuninga, Vice-President of Academic Affairs at Wittenborg University of Applied Sciences, in his inaugural speech at HAN University of Applied Sciences, where he was installed as Professor of Applied Sciences and chair of its Centre of International Business Research (CIBR).
Tuninga said developing international business opportunities is both easier and more complex than before. The CIBR focuses on two interrelated areas of study: international business education and international entrepreneurship. Global citizenship connects these two areas of research. "Global citizenship entails, among other things, recognising and dealing with global economic, social, and ecological challenges to the benefit of local business communities and consumers. International entrepreneurship is focused on how global opportunities will benefit local business."

He identified the following 5 trends as the most important influencing the global economy:
