Stay Smart
​
Welcome to this Global Voice magazine spring 2024 issue!
​
What more than the iconic smartphone to remind us to “stay smart”? Welcome to this March-May spring issue of the CoBS quarterly magazine that brings cutting-edge research insights and opinion to the wider world in a practical, engaging and understandable way.
​
In this 99-page issue, a focus Editorial by CoBS Academic Director Prof. Adrian Zicari on tech and the future of education. Our usual wry look at business and society through the lens of our CoBS cartoon flips the issue on its back with “And now… the Un-SMART phone” and some of the negative effects of this tool that has forever changed our lives and our behaviour.
​
Our “Brains that have Brawn” – our contributors – number 28 for this issue, and of course feature our prof-researchers from the 11 CoBS member schools, but also other academic guests, students and professionals from across the globe.
​
Their articles come in two sections, the first of which is Leadership & Management. Here, insights include the iPhone and the notion of sufficiency, how to effectively transfer knowledge to your project or corporate stakeholders, reducing corporate carbon emissions, improving global sustainability reporting, how managers can deal with the dilemma of treating their teams equally or equitably, integrity in corporate strategy, and the issue of long working hours: should the employee see this as a fatality or an opportunity – and how?
​
Section 2 – Business, Society, Planet – takes a deep dive into how clothing brands can nudge customers into buying sustainable clothing, a take on the teaching of responsible management in the Global South, ways to reduce carbon emissions in distribution channels while making cost savings, tech4good in enabling smallholders to gain certification, combatting gender-based violence in Kenya, how startups in Brazil are embracing the circular economy, and how the concept of Yin-Yang can help foster a new 21st century approach to business and management.
​
Enough knowledge to keep your hunger at bay until our next, special June issue of Global Voice magazine.
​
Enjoy!
