Each year, Lauder students conduct research and interviews during immersions around the world. The Lauder Global Business Insight Report provides an annual snapshot of new trends in business and economics and the challenges and opportunities of politics and policy. The unprecedented events of the last few months have made it clear that a shift is on the horizon. This year’s report, produced through the collective efforts of Lauder’s Class of 2021, demonstrates people around the world responding to global challenges, driving social and political change, and advancing economic wellbeing.
