Seminar on Consumer Food Well-Being

<h6>About the event</h6>
Societies and citizens worldwide face an overwhelming amount of societal and environmental challenges, including consumer well-being, sustainability, globalization, digitalization, and individual mental challenges, amongst others.    Currently, the Department of Marketing, Copenhagen Business School (CBS) will be organizing and hosting a series of seminars addressing and discussing such challenges. The workshops, conducted in English, will be broad-based, where views from different societal actors can meet, and where we can mutually inspire each other.   The first seminar focused on 'sustainability' and was held in Spring 2023. This second seminar will be on ‘consumer food well-being’, which deals with important issues such as consumer food behavior, food healthiness, consumer nutritional pieces of advice, consumer food stress, and the obesity crisis, among many others.

Upcoming events

If the world were static, we would not need to have a culture of continuing education. But that is not the case. Staying at the top means that we have to keep educating ourselves.

Green transition: How can companies navigate the unknown future?

Navigating unknown futures 

Listen to <a rel="noopener" href="https://www.cbs.dk/en/research/departments-and-centres/department-of-organization/staff/mfeioa" target="_blank">Miriam Feuls</a> talk about the challenges and opportunities for the green transition. Miriam is an Assistant Professor at the Department of Organisation at CBS.

Committing to distant climate goals has significant implications for companies. Managers must find new ways to steer the company into a distant future, and they must find new ways to invest in innovation, all while being disrupted by unforeseen events such as the COVID-19 pandemic or the war in Ukraine. However, it remains a particular challenge to plan for a future about which we know little. The paths towards distant futures can only be partially anticipated as many solutions, mechanisms and actors do not exist at present.
It is such issues that have been the foundation of Miriam Feuls’ research. Together with her colleagues from the Centre for Organisation and Time at Copenhagen Business School, she conducts the research project ‘Making distant futures actionable’ funded by the Novo Nordisk Foundation. The research project studies pioneers and their practices leading the green transition in Danish industry: energy (Ørsted), food (Arla Foods) and life science (Novo Nordisk).
“We can see in our research that the unknowability of the distant future can be both a challenge and an opportunity at the same time”, says Miriam in the video, where she also presents some of the initial ideas of how companies navigate the unknown. While it is common knowledge that a distant-future focus allows companies to think big or be bolder, a short-term focus helps create accountability: “But there is no trade-off between the two. Short-term thinking is essential for thinking for the long-term, just as long-term thinking is essential for the short-term. […] If companies take this seriously, they can prevent themselves from slipping into incrementalism or relying on future solutions that remain too abstract to pursue”, Miriam explains.
