CGA’s student-run journal, Global Affairs Review, is moving to a new home within the NYU web publishing system. As faculty adviser to the journal’s editorial team, Professor Barbara Borst has worked closely with Sonya Bandouil, editor-in-chief, and managing editor Roberto Jose Schiattino to prepare the new site. “We have transferred all the articles published on GAR since its founding in fall 2017 and created archives of the articles from its predecessor, Perspectives on Global Issues, which was published by CGA students from 2006 until spring 2017.
We encourage faculty members as well as students and alumni to contribute articles and commentary,” comments Prof. Borst.

Paper published in the world’s leading strategic management journal (SMJ): How organizations can turn resource scarcity into opportunity
Organizations in resource-constrained environments often struggle to survive and grow, often using “bricolage” (“making the best out of what is at hand”), which tends to not be sustainable. A six-year longitudinal study of a South African social enterprise – carried out by CGA professor Christian Busch and LSE professor Harry Barkema – develops a novel conceptual model of scaling bricolage: as a low-cost replication process of heuristics, enabling fit with a diversity of local environments, as well as cross-unit innovation and learning. The paper, published in the current issue of the world’s leading strategy journal, the Strategic Management Journal, has important implications, helping reframe challenges away from resource-constraints to resourcefulness and creativity, and enabling individuals and organizations grow with limited budgets.
