Sting, the musician and father of six once defined: “You can only be as happy as your unhappiest child”. This thought encapsulates the very essence of our being and wellbeing; our existence is in constant interaction with our social surroundings and our wellbeing is in relation with the wellbeing of others around us. Our lives are intertwined with the lives of others. Continue reading

Research trajectories of Service-Dominant Logic: Emergent themes of a unifying paradigm in business and management, Industrial Marketing Management, 2017
Attila Pohlmann, Valtteri Kaartemo
Branding will become peripheral to Service-Dominant Logic by the early 2020s. Systems will be the driving theme in the same timeframe. These were some of the results emerging from our extensive mixed methods analysis of the SD Logic research trajectories. Continue reading

I was super nervous, starting a new school. Thank goodness I already had someone to sit next to in orientation! That was a major consolation not only on those first days but also throughout my studies. The people are without a doubt the best thing about studying international business at TSE. Continue reading
This blog was born out of a need and a revelation. First we stumbled upon a need: it seems that just like the international and global world we study, also what we actually do in the TSE International Business is diverse.
