In a world of rising geopolitical tensions and economic uncertainty, how can businesses become a force for peace?
Join us for an insightful public talk by Professor Mike Peng, one of the world’s most cited scholars in global strategy. He will introduce a bold new vision of corporate social responsibility (CSR) - one that goes beyond charity and sustainability to focus on building peace through global trade and investment.
This event also marks the soft launch of the Asia Academy of Management (AAOM) conference 2026, a major international gathering of scholars and practitioners in business and management, set to be hosted in RMIT Vietnam in 2026.
Professor Mike Peng is a globally recognised expert in global strategy and is the author of three best-selling textbooks used in over 40 countries. Ranked #1 in global strategy by Google Scholar (2025), Professor Peng has advised Fortune 500 companies and international organisations and brings decades of insight into how global business can shape a more peaceful world.
