  • It is not easy to be sustainable, but it can be done | globalEDGE Business Beat
    Hosted by Tomas Hult, this segment of the globalEDGE Business Beat is an opinion segment on the show titled “It is not easy to be sustainable, but it can be done.” Tomas Hult is Professor and Byington Endowed Chair in the Eli Broad College of Business at Michigan State University. The focus of the segment is basically that sustainability is in vogue today. Almost every corner of society is buying into the idea of being more sustainable. While it is admirable to replace what we use and repair what we harm, leaving the world in a better condition than before, very different views exist on how to do this – and perhaps even why – among customers, companies and countries. These differing views and goal areas are discussed in this segment, and how we can coordinate policy (countries), strategies (companies) and market needs (customers) to create a more sustainable world.

  • Sustainability and Companies’ Performance | globalEDGE Business Beats
    Hosted by Tomas Hult, this segment of the globalEDGE Business Beat is an interview with Maria Alejandra Gonzalez-Perez. Dr. Gonzalez-Perez is the coordinator of the Colombian universities’ relationship with the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD). Tomas Hult is Professor and Byington Endowed Chair in the Eli Broad College of Business at Michigan State University. In September 2018, Drs. Hult and Gonzalez-Perez published an article in the Journal of Macromarketing titled “A Ten Country-Company Study of Sustainability and Product-Market Performance: Influences of Doing Good, Warm Glow, and Price Fairness.” The article was co-authored with Jeannette Mena, Katarina Lagerström, and Daniel Hult. Broadly, in a 10-country study involving 4,051 companies, we examined sustainability issues related to company costs, customer costs, and price sensitivities on the effects of sustainability on companies’ performance. The results indicate that positive effects on companies’ performance can be achieved (1) from the companies’ sustainability
    efforts in all 10 countries studied, (2) even if the costs and/or prices increased by 27 to 72 percent, and (3) by companies implementing sustainability efforts that are 5 to 30 percent above the efforts of the country.

    Hosted by Tomas Hult, this segment of the globalEDGE Business Beat is an opinion segment on the show titled “Moving from win-win to win-lose trade policy will end in lose-lose.” Tomas Hult is Professor and Byington Endowed Chair in the Eli Broad College of Business at Michigan State University. Dr. Hult also published this piece as a an op-ed article in The Hill, with the same title, on August 1, 2018. The focus of the segment is that the value of trade across borders has grown faster than the growth in the cumulative production (GDP) of all countries for more than half a century. But, as the recent tariff and trade wars have escalated, so has the grimmer outlook for the value of international trade and global efficiencies that the world has been developing over decades. What can we expect?
