Firms with exclusive brokerage positions in their collaboration networks outshine their counterparts by an average margin of more than 7% in crisis conditions, according to recent research conducted at ESMT Berlin. The competitive advantage of exclusive brokers stems from their capacity to adapt quickly, and on their own terms, when crisis erupts - unlike their peers trapped in more tightly-knit, constraining networks.
After a successful launch last year, the second Berlin Global Dialogue will take place October 1-2, 2024, at ESMT Berlin. Founded by Lars-Hendrik Röller, former chief economic advisor to German Chancellor Angela Merkel, the Berlin Global Dialogue unites leaders from business, government, and academia to develop joint solutions for the world’s most pressing issues. Under the theme “Building Common Ground,” this year’s summit invites global leaders to find new ways to cooperate amidst volatility and fragmentation.
ESMT Berlin has updated its brand identity with a new logo, color scheme, and tagline “Business as unusual.” This brand transformation comes a little more than 20 years after the international business school’s founding and illustrates its forward-looking identity. The new logo draws inspiration from the iconic Berlin TV tower, which is visible from the ESMT campus in the center of Berlin. The TV tower builds a transmission line and symbolizes collaboration across ideologies and national borders, resonating with ESMT’s commitment to develop entrepreneurial leaders who think globally and act responsibly.
