Managing Globalization in Times of Economic Crisis

Keynote Speakers

Second Call for Papers and Session Proposals

The 5th Annual Global Management Conference explores the theme of managing globalization specifically in periods of economic crisis. Globalization has set into motion numerous trends that have created immense opportunities for organizations and economies around the world. As economic crisis emerges in one or more domains of the globally networked economic and business system, what are the managerial challenges that must be overcome to minimize risk for the organization and find future opportunities?

The questions we aim to explore focus on various manifestations of these challenges:

1. Gaining a better understanding of emerging contexts for leading and innovating in the process of Strategic Global Management.
   
2. Implications for managing of global partnerships
3. Evidence of sustainable and responsible business models and practices in the global context including social responsibility, green business, and sustainable energy.
4. The behavior of capital markets in relation to IPOs, venture capital and implications for regulation
5. Emerging trends in corporate governance and financial management including new forms of ownership, patterns in mergers and acquisitions, executive compensation practices and the constitution and behavior of corporate boards of directors.
6. Implications for supply chain and logistics management covering the legal framework, ebusiness models and reverse logistics
7. Trends in quality management across globalized contexts and the impact of lean management systems and practices.
8. Trends in marketing including brand, identity and corporate reputation, marketing communications and public relations, and entrepreneurial and small business marketing
9. The impact of globalization on evolving political and civic infrastructures from the perspectives of emerging modernity, consumption sociology, social and public policies and the organization of work and the professions.
10. The emerging Global Knowledge Society and the influence of information systems, knowledge management practices, online business and education models, Web 2.0 and social media.

Panel Discussions covering any of these challenges or others that authors would like to propose are welcome. Accepted panels will be scheduled for a complete session (3-5 papers). Proposals should describe the topic, emphasizing its importance to Managing Globalization in Times of Economic Crisis, identify the researchers who will participate in the session and provide the abstracts for the papers.

Practitioner Panels

In addition to the regular academic presentations, we are inviting senior executives from industry to present their unsolved questions in panel discussions with representative researchers. These presentations and discussions will likely determine significant future research agendas that could more effectively address the needs of both industry and academia.
