Theme Lecture – "The International Vision of Entrepreneurs"
In today's globalized economic environment, companies face competition and opportunities from all over the world. Entrepreneurs with an international perspective are better equipped to understand market demands, cultural differences, and business practices in different countries and regions, thereby formulating more targeted and adaptive strategies. How can enterprises keenly capture changes and trends in the international market, timely adjust their development direction, seize opportunities, avoid risks, and achieve sustainable growth?
Next, Professor Tao Yitao, the founding director of the Belt and Road International Cooperation Development (Shenzhen) Research Institute, a senior professor at Shenzhen University, former Deputy Secretary of the Party Committee and Discipline Inspection Secretary of Shenzhen University, doctoral supervisor, will deliver a theme lecture titled "The International Vision of Entrepreneurs."
Professor Tao analyzed the essence of entrepreneurship from a global perspective, emphasizing that "psychological capital" is the core driving force for tapping into international markets, which resonated deeply with the entrepreneurs present. In this era of globalization, it is crucial for entrepreneurs to possess an international vision in order to remain competitive and succeed in the fierce market competition. By cultivating and expanding their international perspectives, entrepreneurs can better seize global business opportunities and achieve sustainable development for their companies.
heme Lecture – "Stress Management and Building Psychological Resilience"
Following this, Dr. Huang Lihong delivered a theme lecture titled "Stress Management and Building Psychological Resilience." In the fast-paced modern life, we face various kinds of pressures. If not managed effectively, stress can have negative impacts on our physical and mental health. Therefore, learning how to manage stress is crucial.
Dr. Huang proposed a practical model of "Resilience = Cognitive Restructuring + Action Empowerment," providing scientific coping strategies for individuals facing high levels of stress in the workplace. Stress management and the building of psychological resilience are essential skills we must master in modern life.
