Trade affects every company—But few companies understand its full implications for their business.
When companies understand exactly how they are impacted by trade, they are poised to be successful, resilient, and secure in a post-Covid society. International Trade Policy Expert and World Bank consultant MARC L. BUSCH talks trade in a way that’s accessible and relevant to every company, recognizing that ‘new’ trade problems to come out of the pandemic are familiar and solvable. From trade and climate change, to the Biden Administration’s Free Trade deals, to China’s role in global trade, to supply chain shortages, Marc’s talks are always grounded in the urgency of our present moment, and teach us that we all have something to gain from an inside look into the world of trade.
Only a small percentage of companies have a real understanding of how trade will actually affect their bottom line—and fewer still understand the real tools they can use to protect themselves. Marc L. Busch is a multiple award-winning professor at Georgetown University, a scholar, host of the trade-centric podcast Tradecraft, and the authority on today’s global trade. What does international trade mean for your industry, or your business? We’re currently engaged in an “epic battle of free trade,” says Busch, and as volatile as that battle might be, it’s an opportunity for companies to help rewrite the rules of those trade deals.” With wit, lucidity, and customization to your organization, Busch will steer your audience through the volatile changes to come—and leave you prepared to handle them with confidence.
Busch is currently the Karl F. Landegger Professor of International Business Diplomacy at the Edmund A. Walsh School of Foreign Service; Professor of Government, and Professor of Business Administration at Georgetown University. He has taught at both Harvard and Queen’s University, receiving awards for teaching at all three institutions. Forbes Magazine named his course, “Business, Government and the Global Economy,” one of the Top 10 Most Innovative MBA courses in the United States.

In our current political landscape, how do we economically move forward when it comes to trade? International Trade Policy Expert and World Bank consultant Marc L. Busch has his finger on the pulse of the modern moment of trade politics, and has dedicated his career to helping us make sense of it all.
In this relevant, electric talk, Marc reveals how President Biden’s trade politics are different from President Trump’s and where the US stands on Free Trade deals in relation to the EU and others. He teaches us about the Green movement in Congress and shows us how China’s unignorable role in World Trade will impact the world’s economy.
Unfortunately, only a small percentage of companies have a real understanding of how trade will actually affect their bottom line. Those who possess this knowledge hold a huge competitive advantage, says international trade policy expert Marc L. Busch. In this non-partisan talk, Busch provides you with a clear view of what matters, nothing more, nothing less. Customized to your industry, this talk will help companies keep an eye on priorities: what’s actually important in a time that is rife with noise, turbulence, and word of “escalating trade wars.” Here, Busch dismantles the concepts trumpeted in the news—sussing out the actual ramifications they’ll have on the economy, and of course, you.
