Themes and Topics
Emerging Markets in an Interdependent World: India and China
Rapid changes in the global economy present continuing challenges for educators, as well as for business and government leaders. The political and economic rules are changing due to such developments as acceptance of China into the WTO and ever stronger regional cooperation, the advent of e-business, the widespread use of the Internet, and challenges in governance and corporate behavior.
Strategic alliances, networks and partnerships span political, sectoral and geographical borders. These changes are occurring across a variety of functional borders. The objective of this conference is to provide a forum for scholars analyzing the strategic challenges faced by firms in the global arena. In addition, cross-disciplinary submissions are encouraged. |
