    Cultivating Global Entrepreneurs in the Food Supply Chain
    (IGI Global, 2016) Chen, Yesho; Polat, İsmail Hakkı
    Food supply chain from an entrepreneur's perspective has many needs today. To cultivate food entrepreneurs addressing the growing global demand in food, there is an emerging trend in integrating vital players in food supply chain to form food clusters. Like most of start-up entrepreneurs in other industries, food entrepreneurs have their challenges of identifying market opportunities, building a trusted management team, and securing funding sources to run the businesses. They also need facilities to produce their foods, the facilities needed to be certified by local food authorities, securing product liability insurance, and marketing channels to distribute their food products. In this paper, we discussed how LSU Food Incubator is established and developed to address those challenges. Specifically, it is a "Flying High, Landing Soft" platform. We plan to empower the platform with mobile cloud learning practices and capabilities and extend this platform to emerging markets like Turkey. © 2017 by IGI Global. All rights reserved.

    A "flying high, landing soft" platform for supplier diversity
    (IGI Global, 2016) Chen, Yesho; Davutyan, Nurhan; Ersoy, Iris
    Diversity management has emerged as a unique agenda of today's corporations in the global economy. One important area of corporate diversity management is supplier diversity, which is an inclusive growth program designed to help develop under-represented businesses into competitive suppliers of corporations. A major challenge of supplier diversity is that many minority suppliers lack the capability to deliver products which the corporate buyers need. Another major challenge is that few minority suppliers have the ability to participate in the global markets opportunities. We address these two problems by proposing an innovative "Flying High, Landing Soft" platform for international education in supplier diversity to help multinationals manage their global supplier diversity.
